We’ll Share This ‘The World of Kanako’ Clip Over Our Dead Body (Exclusive)

Published

on

On December 4th, Drafthouse Films is releasing the Japanese thriller The World of Kanako in theaters and on VOD.

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) 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.

Directed by Tetsuya Nakashima (Confessions, Japan’s submission for the Academy’s best foreign language film in 2011), The World of Kanako is said to be an astonishing tour de force of mystery, beauty and boundary-pushing violence. “A wildly kinetic and startlingly venomous throwback to the best that Asian extreme cinema has to offer, The World of Kanako offers a trip right up to the edge of a man’s private hell – and over it.”
