Venetian Film Festival Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Spy's Wife" Best Award Nomination July 28, 20:57
Director Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Spy's Wife" was nominated for the highest award at the "Venice International Film Festival," one of the three major film festivals scheduled to open in Italy this September.
The Venice International Film Festival is one of the three largest film festivals in the world, alongside Cannes and Berlin, and marks the 77th anniversary of the festival.
On the night of the 28th of Japan time, nominated works such as the competition section competing for the gold lion award, which is the highest award, were announced, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Spy's Wife" was selected.
The main character of this movie is the wife of a man who was suspected of being a traitor because he accidentally discovered state secrets in 1940, just before the Pacific War.
Yu Aoi plays a woman who is caught up in the rough waves of the times with her husband, and Kazuo Takahashi plays a man who plans to announce confidentiality for justice.
This is the first time that Kurosawa has been selected for the Venice International Film Festival competition category. “I'm happy and I'm very nervous at the same time. How will the appearance of a couple living in Japan in the 1940s be seen by foreigners? I have no idea now."
The Venice International Film Festival is scheduled to take place from September 2 to 12 local time, with the grand prize announced on the last day.
