43rd Japan Academy Prize nomination for best picture of the year

Just looks by its name, it kind of Japanese equivalent for Oscar, but of course without much esteem internationally and (often) way worse in representing the best works from the land of the rising sun. While the last two year, it saved by the existent of by none other, the great Kore-eda, the legend Takeshi Kitano already long dissed this award as another stereotypical 'pat on each other back' between big studios.

But enough with criticism, one just quiet bore today to come with something like this.

- Kingdom


- The Journalist


- Fly Me to the Saitama


- Family of Strangers (Close Ward)


- Listen to the Universe
