Saisons Hanabi : Vivez au rythme du Japon
About
At the heart of our selection is “Love on Trial”: the story of an idol pursued by her agency for having loved. Beyond the scandal, a system is revealed that controls even emotions, in an industry where sincerity becomes an act of resistance. Kōji Fukada, true to his humanist perspective, delivers a work that is both pop and political—reflecting this season, vibrant yet clear-sighted.
This same tension between truth and facade runs through “Sham”, a thriller where justice turns into a spectacle, and finds a more intimate echo in the comedy “My Big Brother and Me” which, after “The Asada Family”, tenderly reminds us that defying appearances relies more on emotion than on reason.
The reason the films in this edition resonate so well with one another is that they all explore that same fragile moment: the moment when we stop playing a role, when the mask falls, and the truth emerges. From "Give Me a Sign" to "Under Kyoto's Sky," from "The Convenience Store Girl" to "Seppuku," the facade gradually cracks under the gaze of talented filmmakers. And isn't that also Hanabi's mission: to invite the viewer to discover an unvarnished Japan—more nuanced, more real?
