Description

[Machine Translation] I remembered your warmth - the immortal love that a solitary genius painter had kept hidden. The culmination of 60 years of planning. The first film by screenwriter Satoshi Kuramoto in 36 years and the culmination of his work, "Silence of the Sea" will be released on Blu-ray! The Silence of the Sea" is a film that master scriptwriter Satoshi Kuramoto, known for such works as "Maeyoshi Mother", "Kita no Kuni Kara", and "Yasuragi no Sato", has been planning for many years and says that he "really wanted to write this film". When the hidden thoughts of a genius painter who has disappeared from the public eye, his obsession with beauty and art, and his unforgettable past are revealed, the whole picture of supreme beauty and love will be painted on the canvas. The solitary painter Ryuji Tsuyama is played by Masahiro Motoki, winner of the 81st Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for "The Departed". The film is the first participation in Kuramoto's works, and is led by a splendid cast of Japanese film industry leaders such as Kyoko Koizumi, Kiichi Nakai, Koji Ishizaka, Toru Nakamura, and Misa Shimizu, and embodies the profound drama surrounding "beauty" that Satoshi Kuramoto, who has fascinated us with his numerous works, has been dealing with for over 60 years. The film is directed by Setsuro Wakamatsu, who is highly acclaimed for his profound direction and human dramas such as "The Sun That Never Sets" and "Fukushima 50". In this film, too, he brings to the screen tense drama, profound love, and poignant human drama. The film was shot on location in Otaru, Hokkaido, which has been the setting for many of Kuramoto's films. The beautiful scenery of the canal adds color to this profound story. What does beauty mean to human beings? What do we find at the end of life? The culmination of the work of writer Satoshi Kuramoto, "Silence of the Sea" is not only a must-see for his fans, but also for all Japanese film fans. Winner of the 67th Blue Ribbon Award for Best Supporting Actress (Kyoko Koizumi) and an official selection of the 54th International Film Festival Rotterdam. Special features: making of the film, 2 trailers (full trailer and short trailer). Enclosed: Commentary (12 pages), postcards (3 kinds).
