In the revival screening project by 'Filmarks,' one of Japan's largest movie, drama, and anime review services, it has been decided to hold a nationwide revival screening for a limited time of two weeks starting Friday, June 12, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the theatrical release of the youth masterpiece film 'GO,' directed by Isao Yukisada, written by Kankuro Kudo, and starring Yosuke Kubozuka!
'GO' is a youth film released in 2001, based on the Naoki Prize-winning (123rd, in 2000) novel of the same name by Kazuki Kaneshiro (published by Kodansha), with Isao Yukisada directing and Kankuro Kudo writing the screenplay.
Starring young actors such as Yosuke Kubozuka and Ko Shibasaki, the film depicts a Zainichi Korean high school student, Sugihara (Yosuke Kubozuka), who searches for a 'self' unbound by names or nationality through romance and identity conflicts.
Numerous powerful words, symbolized by the line 'I'll erase those borders for you,' leave a vivid impression. It is a work that attracts viewers as a fresh love story despite dealing with the heavy theme of identity, thanks to its stylish and nimble direction.
Upon its release, it swept numerous film awards, including winning 8 categories at the Japan Academy Film Prize, and continues to be highly acclaimed as a masterpiece representing Japanese cinema in the 2000s.
Please experience this story where youthful romance, conflict, and impulses intersect at a movie theater.
Additionally, original visitor benefits are planned to be distributed as part of this project. Details will be announced at a later date.
