All Of A Sudden, Ryūsuke Hamaguchi returns with a new film
The latest from Ryusuke Hamaguchi, All Of A Sudden, a nursing home drama about two unlikely friends, opens this November.
Japanese director Ryūsuke Hamaguchi has released his latest film, "All Of A Sudden." The film follows Marie-Lou, a nursing home director played by Virginie Efira, as she attempts to revolutionize elder care with innovative methods like respecting residents' dignity. The story also features Mari, a theater director played by Tao Okamoto, battling cancer who helps Marie-Lou see life, friendship, and care in a new light.
Adapted from the non-fiction book "You And I – The Illness Suddenly Get Worse" by Makiko Miyano and Maho Isono, "All Of A Sudden" premiered at Cannes earlier this year, where Efira and Okamoto won the award for Best Actress. The film is currently Japan's nomination for Best International Feature Film at next year's Oscars, which would be Hamaguchi's second Oscar in that category.
With its gentle, life-affirming approach, "All Of A Sudden" seems poised to be a strong contender for the Oscars. It is set for release in November.
