With the US release of Nakashima Tetsuya's
The World Of Kanako coming up on December 4th from Drafthouse Films a full theatrical trailer and poster are freshly arrived on the scene.
An uncompromising revenge thriller of operatic scope, The World of
Kanako is a non-stop visual and emotional assault to the senses as it
follows troubled ex-detective Akikazu (Kôji Yakusho, 13 Assassins,
Babel) on the hunt for his missing teenage daughter, Kanako. What he
discovers in his search is an unsettling and harrowing web of
depravity--surrounding both Kanako and himself. As Akizaku stumbles
along a shocking trail of drugs, sex and violence, he finds himself
woefully unprepared for the revelations that affect all he holds dear.
Nakashima - director of
Kamikaze Girls and
Confessions - is one of the most striking visual directors in the world and he takes a much darker turn here. Check out the new trailer below.
