The Tokyo International Film Festival boots up with some pre-festival events before opening on October 20. Targeting an international audience is a screening and talk on Post Card, director Kaneto Shindo’s last film. Created when he was 98, the movie views WWII with ordinary people’s eyes, seeing how a solider’s death devastates his family. Shindo’s son and producer, Jiro, will provide insight into the film’s creation, with English translation.
Metropolis is giving away five pairs of free tickets. Send your name and address to giveaways@metropolis.co.jp, with subject: Post Card.
