SINKING OF JAPAN

日本沈没   일본침몰   日本沈没

135 min.

Someone in the future… perhaps tomorrow, 127 million Japanese will live their worst nightmare!
Japan has just received its death sentence. In less than a year, the island nation will sink! Earthquakes, tidal waves and volcanic eruptions roil the country, leaving millions dead and stranded. Japan’s only hope lies with one plan… and one man. To save his country and the woman he loves, a submarine pilot must make the ultimate sacrifice.
Experience on film an unprecedented natural disaster with all the realism and devastating force that is all too familiar to the people of Japan.

The Floating Castle

のぼうの城   노보우의 성   傀儡之城

145 min.

Nearing the end of Japan’s long years of civil war, with Toyotomi Hideyoshi one short step away from finally uniting the land under his rule, he sends a massive army north against the Hojo clan, his last enemy. The one stronghold he cannot take is Oshi Castle, a Hojo outpost in the land of Bushu. Called ‘the floating castle’ because of the lake that surrounded it, it is under the command of one Narita Nagachika, an extremely popular ruler known to the people of his domain as ‘Nobou-sama’, from deku no bou, or ‘blockhead’.
