Films by Language

Japanese

Carlos

Olivier Assayas

An extraordinary three-part epic of the rise and fall of Carlos the Jackal. “Edgar Ramirez inhabits the title role with the arrogant charisma of Brando in his prime. It’s an astonishing film.” — indieWIRE

The Invention of Dr Nakamats

Opfindelsen af Dr Nakamats

Kaspar Astrup Schröder

Entertaining portrait of manically creative 80-year-old Japanese inventor who holds the record for individual patents – over 3,000 – and counts the floppy disk and an aphrodisiac called Love Jet amongst his inventions.

Summer Wars

Samâ wôzu

Hosoda Mamoru

This much fêted new anime imagines an online war between a sinister hacker and a young math whiz, aided by his eccentric adopted family. “Makes the usual SF/fantasy anime look childish and dull.” — Japan Times
