This episode sets the spotlight on the 75th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. Screened in competition was "Broker," the first release by Kore-eda Hirokazu to be shown at the festival since he received the Palme d'Or in 2018 for "Shoplifters." Then we look at Hayakawa Chie's speculative fiction feature, "PLAN 75." Proposing a unique take on the social issue of population aging, it was presented in the Un Certain Regard section and received a special mention in the Camera d'Or, a prize category dedicated to debut films by budding directors. Later on, an overview of the world's largest festival on Japanese cinema, Nippon Connection, held in Frankfurt. This year, the Nippon Honor Award went to actor Nagase Masatoshi. We'll also discuss his latest film, "Just the Two of Us." [Navigator] Sarah Macdonald [Guest] Alexander Zahlten (Professor, Harvard University)
