‘Nagi Notes’ Clip: Japan’s Kôji Fukada Makes Cannes Competition Debut With Drama Sparked By Rural Museum Of Contemporary Art

EXCLUSIVE: Kôji Fukada makes his Cannes Competition debut this month with Nagi Notes and Deadline can reveal a first clip.

The film, which will kick off the competition screenings on the first Wednesday, stars Takako Matsu as Yoriko, an artist living in rural Nagi, nursing the wounds of a failed love affair she cannot bear to mourn.

Friend and former sister-in-law Yuri (Shizuka Ishibashi) travels from Tokyo to visit. Like Yoriko, the recently separated architect is at a crossroads in her life. Yuri’s brief escape from the city settles into a quiet confrontation of loss and probing for the two women in bucolic Nagi.
