Paris – The Japanese film "Muyou no Hito," directed by Maha Harada, has been awarded the International Critics Award at a festival in northern Spain. Harada, a novelist, made her feature film debut with this work, which was not among the top winners at the 74th San Sebastian International Film Festival, held on Saturday. Despite not securing the top prize, her film claimed an independent award presented alongside the main festival accolades.
"Muyou no Hito," adapted from one of Harada's short stories, follows a woman discovering her father's final years through a key delivered to the museum where she is employed. The movie, set for release in Japan next January, will likely be seen by Japanese audiences first. With the subscriber's current plan, commenting on stories is not possible.
