Film festival award-winning works are distributed one after another! 10 recommended NEON movies

3. “Three strangers with the same genes” (18) Director: Tim Wardle

One of NEON's strengths is that it regularly releases ``non-fiction works'' (high-quality documentary films), and this work could be said to be one of the pioneers. This film was screened at the 31st Tokyo International Film Festival under the Japanese title ``Three Strangers with the Same Genes'' (later retitled ``Three Strangers with the Same Genes''). It won the U.S. Documentary Jury Special Award at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.

No matter which Japanese title you look at, this work will leave you wondering, "What's that all about?" What this means is that the triplets (technically they are quadruplets, but one died during childbirth) were adopted by different families when they were six months old, but were reunited when they entered college. It's a shocking true story. They are truly "three strangers" with the same genes.

In an episode where the truth is stranger than the novel, a young man who has just entered university is somehow recognized by those around him -> learns of the existence of twins -> later finds out that they are triplets. , the scale is expanding rapidly. The content is surprising, including the fate that awaits the three.

In 2018, NEON released a new work almost every month. Releases in the vicinity of this film include `` Borg/McEnroe: The Man of Ice and the Man of Fire '' (17), which depicts a legendary tennis match, and ` `REVENGE '' (17), a revenge drama whose extreme content caused controversy. It was done.
