2 Japanese films nominated for Venice film Festival's Golden Lion


Two Japanese movies have been nominated for the 67th Venice Film Festival’s Golden Lion award, organizers of the festival beginning Sept. 1 said Thursday.

One is “Norwegian Wood” directed by Vietnamese-born French director Tran Anh Hung, based on Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami’s bestseller of the same title. The other is “Ju-san nin no shikaku” (13 Assassins) directed by Japanese director Takashi Miike.

I think a movie industry in Asia has a very enormous development. I am the one who want to learn about film, so I feel excited to know this news. In my opinion, these two movies have a different style. Norwegian Wood is the romantic movie that has many beautiful scenes. I think the director want to show us a wonderful scenes and a impressive story in a same time. 13 Assassins is a former times movie. You can see that the movie show you many culture of Japan such as, hairstyle, clothes and daily life. I think it is a great movie that everyone should see.

I put links here, so you can watch them.
