Check out the trailer for Passion, the movie starring Aoba Kawai, Ryuta Okamoto, Fusako Urabe, Nao Okabe, Kiyohiko Shibukawa, and Yue.
Never before released in the U.S., the second feature from Ryusuke Hamaguchi (Drive My Car) examines a series of intersecting love triangles as only he can, plunging headlong into the exposed-nerve confessions and unrequited attachments among a group of thirtysomethings. It begins when a couple, Kaho (Aoba Kawai) and Tomoya (Ryuta Okamoto), announce their engagement to their friends over dinner, where it’s also revealed the groom had an affair years earlier. While the two spend the evening apart, Tomoya follows his friends to the apartment of his former classmate (Fusako Urabe, Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy), with whom he’s in love, and are led into ever more vulnerable and shocking exchanges of emotional honesty. The movie is produced by Satoshi Fujii.
Passion, written and directed by Rysuke Hamaguchi, opens theatrically on April 14, 2023, in New York at Film at Lincoln Center and in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Royal, followed by additional markets.
