Summary

- The film premiered in Competition at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
- The drama explores the bond between two women through art and history.
Kōji Fukada's latest directorial work, 'Nagi Notes,' has secured North American distribution rights with Greenwich Entertainment. The acclaimed Japanese drama, which made its world premiere in Competition at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, is slated for a U.S. and Canadian release in early 2027.
Set against the serene rural backdrop of Nagi, the film centers on Yoriko, an artist grappling with past romance, and Yuri, an architect seeking solace after a marital end. Their reconnection as former sisters-in-law forms the core of this delicate exploration of identity and letting go.
The acquisition underscores the growing demand for Japanese arthouse cinema. Fukada's inclusion in the 2026 Cannes Palme d'Or race, alongside fellow Japanese directors, marks a significant moment for filmmakers from Japan.
