A new psycho-suspense is born. The movie “Disaster, the Movie” is now in theaters. Experience the unprecedented phenomenon that is Teruyuki Kagawa.

What we can predict from the visuals is that Teruyuki Kagawa is surely someone who will do something terrible and something bad will happen.

The movie "Disaster, the Movie" is a new kind of psycho-suspense that delivers a cold scare from behind to the brain carrying such vague expectations.

summary
A high school girl struggling with her family and career path, a man in the transportation business with a troubled past, a dull shopping mall janitor and barber, a debt-ridden inn manager, and an ordinary housewife. One day, without warning, their ordinary lives are struck by an inexplicable "disaster". The police treat them all as suicides or accidents, but something is not right. Only detective Domoto senses a strange presence and gets to the bottom of the plagues. Meanwhile, a certain "man" is always mixed up in the vicinity of these disasters.

May" is a group of film and video directors, which originated from "c-project," a film production project that emerged from the Masahiko Sato Laboratory of the Tokyo University of the Arts' Graduate School of Arts in 2012.

The three members of the directorial team are Yutaro Seki, Kentaro Hirase, and Masahiko Sato. They advocate the phrase "the method bears the theme" and aim to pioneer new forms of expression.

This film is co-directed by Yutaro Seki and Kentaro Hirase, and the characterization is in full bloom. It is a rare film in which one feels not only the strangeness of the story, but also the strangeness of its structure.

Teruyuki Kagawa plays the lead role of a certain "man. I won't go into details, but the character is more elusive than the protagonist of any other psycho-suspense film I've ever seen, and yet you get the strange feeling that he is right there with you, even when he is not on the screen.

It is like a kind of phenomenon that has the form of a human being but is not a human being.... The role has reached a point where only Teruyuki Kagawa could have played the role.

The other roles include Anne Nakamura, who has been remarkably active as an actor in recent years, as Domoto, a detective who pursues the truth behind a mysterious mishap. Pistol Takehara and Kaito Miyachika play his fellow detectives.

The people who come into contact with the "man" include Senna Nakajima, Ryuhei Matsuda, Ji Uchida, Season Fujiwara, Jiro (Sisonne), Maki Sakai, Yumi Adachi, and Umi Inowaki.

The film was also the talk of the town as it was officially invited to the Competition section of the 73rd San Sebastian International Film Festival.

Is the trouble that comes unexpectedly in daily life coincidental or inevitable? Is there a certain "man" or not? Please come to the theater to witness the whole story. The film opens today, Friday, February 20.
