The life of one of Japan’s most iconic photographers… K5 Intl. has revealed a first look teaser trailer for a biopic film called Ravens from Japan, made by a British filmmaker named Mark Gill (his second feature after England is Mine). The film is premiering at the 2024 Austin Film Festival underway right now – which is this teaser it out to view. The film is a dark fantasy love story about the legendary Japanese photographer Masahisa Fukase and his wife Yoko. This rockin’ new biopic stars legendary Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano, who totally ruled the role of Kashigi Yabushige in the “Shogun” series on FX, as the lead character Masahisa Fukase. The cast also includes Kumi Takiuchi as Yoko, Sôsuke Ikematsu, Kanji Furutachi, and Gô Jibiki. After this premiere, it will open in Japan in early 2025 – so expect more updates on the full US release sometime next year. This does look like an intriguing photographer biopic with some trippy vibes as its set in the 1970s with lots of wild partying. He also seemed to be haunted by ravens? Very interesting.
