Hideo Nakata – Owatta hito AKA Life in Overtime (2018)

Description from Tōei’s Website :
“Retirement is like holding your own funeral while you’re still alive…”
So goes the startling first line of Makiko Uchidate’s best-selling novel, which has now become a major motion picture!
Uchidate is perhaps best known as a prolific screenwriter of numerous hit television shows, including the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) epic period drama series “Mouri Motonari” (1997) and morning drama serial “Hirari” (1992-1993). For her 2015 novel “Owatta Hito,” she expressed the sorrow of a man who comes to the end of his elite corporate career, and captured the imaginations of countless readers.
Hiroshi Tachi stars as protagonist Sosuke Tashiro, who realizes that people regard him as “finished” now that he is retired. Hitomi Kuroki takes on the role of his wife Chigusa, a beautician who cannot bring herself to support her once illustrious and now luster-less husband. Uchidate’s tale is brought to the big screen by director Hideo Nakata, who is renowned for traumatizing Japanese audiences with horror classics such as “Ring” and “Dark Water,” as well as terrifying viewers the world over with “The Ring 2,” the sequel to the Hollywood remake of “Ring.”
For Nakata’s latest film, he takes on the comedy genre for the first time with a touching story full of laughter and tears. The director himself set out to obtain filmmaking rights for the novel after falling in love with its story, saying it was exactly the kind of movie he truly wanted to direct, and the completed feature exhibits his wholehearted passion for the project.
When Sosuke retires, he feels like his life is already over, as if every day is a holiday. He feels an urgent need to continue working and avoid accepting a premature end, so he sets about building a second career. As he struggles, flounders, and battles to find a new path, he makes various new connections. Sosuke’s endeavors and his complicated relationship with Chigusa are depicted with recognizable realism, as Nakata gives new life to Uchidate’s bestselling novel.
Look forward to this heartwarming quality comedy and profoundly flavorful drama for grown-ups!
