New movie “Winny”

(C)2023 Movie “Winny” Production Committee

A solid adult drama, just like ``The Marsa Woman'' (1987). The movie ``Winny'', which is based on a true incident, was overwhelmingly entertaining and powerful. Director Yusaku Matsumoto, who worked on this film, is said to have been in his 20s at the time of filming. I can't help but be surprised by that fact. That's how perfect it is as an "adult movie." Masahiro Higashide played the real-life programmer Isamu Kaneko. From his appearance to his knowledge of programming, Kaneko exists both physically and mentally as himself on screen.

Nationwide roadshow on March 10th (Friday) Distribution: KDDI/Nakachika

The 95th Academy Awards ceremony will be held on March 13th. Among them, Kee Hui Quan, who has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor, is considered to be the favorite to win the award. His masterpiece, ``The Goonies'' (1985), was written and executive produced by Spielberg, and directed by Richard Donner, who also directed ``The Omen'' (1976) and ``Superman'' (1978). Donner was a perfect fit for the role of director of The Goonies, which was capable of directing horror and action, but also needed a comedic element.
