The Wicker Man final cut" © canal+

The Wicker Man final cut" is the first film to be shown in Japan. Christopher Lee, who starred in this film, said, "This film is my masterpiece," but because of its extreme content, this film did not receive a fair evaluation at the time of its release in 1973. However, 40 years later, in 2013, director Robin Hardy re-edited the film using unused footage and completed it, making it 6 minutes longer than the released version. This is a cult film of the highest profile that is said to be one of the original stories of "Midsummer," which stole the headlines last year, with its strange festivals, indigenous beliefs, and sacrificial rituals.

Also, after the screening of "The Wicker Man Final Cut" on Saturday, August 29, the opening day of the festival, there will be a talk by film critics Makoto Takimoto and Kiichiro Yanagishita.

If you are looking for a tingling sensation this summer without festivals or fireworks, step into "Shinjuku K's cinema," which will be transformed into a heavenly paradise from August 29 (Sat.). After seeing this movie, you may become a person who can no longer be satisfied with ordinary movies .......
