Curated by the MFA, the UNIQLO Festival of Films from Japan returns with an electrifying selection of bold new releases. This year’s lineup spans genres, from Shinya Tsukamoto’s haunting war drama Shadow of Fire to the heartwarming journey of grief and reconciliation in Cottontail. Kiyotaka Oshiyama’s Look Back, adapted from the beloved manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, explores artistic passion and collaboration, while Bushido delivers a thrilling samurai epic infused with social critique. The festival also features the inventive time-loop comedy River and the surreal, jazz-infused biopic Between the White Key and the Black Key. Join us for a rich and remarkable showcase of contemporary Japanese cinema.
