Nagi Diary film premiere and release

Overview

The film ‘Nagi Diary’, directed by Koji Fukada, held its Japan premiere in Tokyo following a successful screening at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, where it received a seven-minute standing ovation.

During the premiere, the cast—including Matsutaka Takako, Shizuka Ishibashi, and Kenichi Matsuyama—discussed the production process. The film, which took nine years to complete, is set in a fictional town inspired by Nagi in Okayama Prefecture and explores themes of human drama and loss. Cast members shared anecdotes regarding their time filming in rural settings and the preparation required for their roles, such as Takako Matsu working with a professional sculptor to learn clay modeling.

The film is scheduled for a nationwide release in Japan on September 25, with distribution already confirmed in more than 15 countries and regions.
