Kentaro Sakaguchi stars in new film 'Watashi wa Anata o Shiranai,

Cast and crew of the film 'Watashi wa Anata o Shiranai,' held a stage greeting in Tokyo to celebrate its premiere. The film, a human suspense drama and a joint production between Japan and France, stars Kentaro Sakaguchi as a man who kills a woman and is later confronted by her daughter 13 years later.

Director Ryota Nakano, marking his first original screenplay in ten years, discussed the film's themes of love and forgiveness. Nakano noted that the story was inspired by a news report regarding a man who sought to maintain a sense of family through tragic means. He emphasized that the film explores the complex, varied nature of family and does not suggest that forgiveness is always the necessary conclusion.

During the event, actors Kentaro Sakaguchi, Mayu Hotta, and Kei Hayase shared their experiences. Sakaguchi spoke about the trust built with Nakano during filming, while Hayase reflected on how the role challenged her perspective on life. It was also announced that the film will expand its reach with screenings scheduled in France, South Korea, and Taiwan.
