Kôji Yakusho

Cult Japanese director Takashi Miike (Audition) takes a break from his lunatic-laden thrillers to deliver this periodic samurai epic (in the proper sense of the word).

Japanese director Takashi Miike’s (13 Assassins, Ichi the Killer) remake of the 1962 samurai classic. Centers on a poverty-stricken warrior discovering the fate of his ronin son-in-law, setting in motion a tense showdown of vengeance against the house of a feudal lord.

A young boy who is jealous of his new little sister experiences a time-hopping adventure in this animation from the director of Summer Wars.

A rogue cop, a by-the-book rookie and a vicious turf war between rival yakuza are the ingredients of this crime thriller set in 1980s Hiroshima.

Kôji Yakusho stars in this Japanese murder mystery from Palme d'Or-winning filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda. Nominated for Best Film at Venice.
