Why we chose it
Kazuo Ishiguro’s debut novel (The Remains of the Day, The Buried Giant) is brought to the big screen in a haunting and visually striking adaptation. A mystery unfolds across decades, born from a tempest of memories of postwar Nagasaki. Premiering at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
Synopsis
1982, United Kingdom. An aspiring Japanese-British writer interviews her mother, intending to write a novel inspired by her experiences in postwar Nagasaki. As the conversations unfold, she begins to realize that something about these memories doesn't quite add up.
