Look Back film production and international release

Overview

The live-action film adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s manga, ‘Look Back’, directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, has reached significant international and domestic milestones. Following its selection for the competition section of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, the film held its world premiere in Venice, where the screening received a standing ovation lasting over 12 minutes.

Lead actresses Natsuki Deguchi and Ayame Makita participated in the Venice red carpet alongside child actors Furi Nanase and Rikka Okada. During a subsequent stage greeting in Tokyo following the film’s Japanese premiere, Deguchi expressed being moved to tears by the reception in Venice. Makita noted the high level of anticipation from both domestic and international audiences.

The production, filmed primarily in Kaho City, Akita Prefecture, utilizes detailed sound design to translate the manga’s creative processes to the screen. Kore-eda’s decision to use the Akita region was influenced by the connection between the characters' names and the local setting. The 100-minute film continues to focus on the 13-year journey of protagonists Fujino and Kyomoto, emphasizing the emotional weight of their shared creative labor.
