A preview screening with stage greetings for "Silence of the Sea" (released November 22nd), the first film in 36 years for which screenwriter So Kuramoto wrote the original story and script, was held on the 13th at TOHO Cinemas Susukino in Sapporo, Hokkaido, with Kuramoto, director Setsuro Wakamatsu, and cast members Masahiro Motoki, Kyoko Koizumi, and Megumi Kanno taking to the stage. A press conference was also held before the event. Kuramoto, a screenwriter who has worked on many masterpieces such as "From the North Country" and "The Village of Peace", wrote this "final work" inspired by an incident that occurred 60 years ago. Tickets were sold out immediately as the film, set in Hokkaido, was being previewed in his hometown. When Motoki and the others took to the stage, the audience erupted in loud applause. The story begins when one of the works on display at an exhibition of the world-famous painter Shuzo Tamura (Koji Ishizaka) is discovered to be a fake. Who on earth painted this picture? As the news heats up day after day, a woman's body is discovered in Otaru. A man emerges between these two incidents. He is Tsuyama Ryuji (Motoki), who was once known as a promising and talented painter, but disappeared from the public eye after a certain incident. Set in Otaru, Hokkaido, Tsuyama's hidden feelings, obsession with beauty and art, and unforgettable past are revealed, and the whole picture of supreme beauty and love is painted on canvas. #Silence of the Sea #Kuramoto So #Motoki Masahiro #Koizumi Kyoko #Kanno Megumi
