We return with coverage of this year's Toronto Japanese Film Festival which showcases the finest Japanese films that are often getting either Canadian or International premiere's, giving audiences a chance to finally see the best movies coming out of Japan. We covered the festival last year on 155: Toronto Japanese Film Festival. On this show we talk about Midnight Swan (which won Best Film at the 2021 Japanese Academy Awards), The Pursuit of Perfection, It's a Flickering Life (2022 Best Film nominee), Ribbon and The Pass: Last Days of the Samurai.
Read Rachel's reviews of Midnight Swan, The Pursuit of Perfection, Ribbon and Junk Head.
