My Man
Nippon Cinema ª
Following a natural disaster, an orphaned girl is adopted by a distant relative. Spanning several years and locations, their relationship takes an increasingly destructive turn. MY MAN finds KUMAKIRI firing on all cylinders, switching effortlessly between psychological study, Sirkstyle melodrama, amour fou and comingofagestory, drawing career best performances from Tadanobu ASANO (winner of the first NIPPON HONOR AWARD) and Fumi NIKAIDO.
