SeasonThe Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2024

Skilfully tracing the lives of thirteen flawed individuals, this film by first-time feature director, Takeshi Maruyama, is a sumptuous feast for the eyes, highly praised by critics and audiences alike.

Just as the technological phrase ‘spaghetti code’ refers to the state of something unstructured and difficult to maintain, the focus of this modern tale of fragile young lives under the pressures of ambition, love, and general existence, weaves in and out of the perspectives of its multiple protagonists.

Shingo (Hiroya Shimizu) has garnered mass popularity on Facebook but has no real friends. Cocoro (Tôko Miura), a former aspiring musician, spends much of her time with friends whom she doesn’t actually like. After losing her love, Momoko (Mutsumi Satô) becomes addicted to telephone fortune telling…

The Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2022 is organised by the Japan Foundation, with Major Support from Yakult and the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation, with Sponsorship in Kind from SUQQU and Athletia, and in Cultural Partnership with The Japan Society and JAL.
