Look, I made a banner. LOL
While reading my usual news, I found out that Kokuhaku (aka. Confessions) by Tetsuya Nakashima has been chosen by Japan as their submission for the upcoming Academy Awards. I haven’t even seen the film, but I really thought they would choose something like Norwegian Wood, which seems to be getting in all the major festivals, while Kokuhaku… has been, well… doing well in Japanese Box Office. So it’s a surprise.
These are the other films sent for consideration:
- Austria – La Pivellina
- Hungary – Bibliothèque Pascal [Variety]
- Iraq – Son of Babylon
- Netherlands – Tirza
- Peru – Undertow [review]
- Poland – All that I Love/Everything I Love [Poland]
- Romania – If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle [The Hollywood Reporter]
- South Korea – A Barefoot Dream
- Sweden – Simple Simon [The Hollywood Reporter]
- Taiwan – Monga
- Venezuela – Hermano
Any more? xD
Germany has a shortlist that include 3 Nazi-related dramas. Their pick will be announced in about 10 days.

I am all over Ip Man at the moment. So really, there’s no better way to kick of the New York Asian Film Festival than with the American premiere of Ip Man 2, which its pure kick-ass and feeling for martial arts. Sammo Hung will also be there, so that’s pretty kick-ass too.
But the biggest news is that Tetsuya Nakashima’s latest film Kokuhaku (Confessions), which will open in Japan on June 5th, will be the Centerpiece presentation. According to Subway Cinema News, Kokuhaku has left dumbfounded at the market screening in Cannes. Must be the LSD on Nakashima’s film-making.
Can’t effing wait for it now.

The film is based on an award-winning novel written by rookie author and housewife Kanae Minato. Actress Takako Matsu (K-20, Villon’s Wife) plays a dedicated teacher at a junior high school who’s young daughter is found brutally murdered. Believing two of her own students are responsible, she decides to leave the school, but not before a final chilling confession to her class in which she informs them that she’s already enacted her plan for vengeance.
Watch the trailer via Nippon Cinema.
