To celebrate the UK DVD release of Mitsuko Delivers, the latest comedy from Japanese film director Yuya Ishii, Japan Centre is running a competition to give away 3 copies of Ishii’s quirky film Sawako Decides to three lucky winners!
The newest film from director Yuya Ishii, ‘Mitsuko Delivers’ comes out on DVD July 9th at all major online and high-street retailers.
This breathless new comedy tells the story of a woman (Riisa Naka, Summer Wars) who’s at a delicate juncture in life; alone, flat broke and to top it all nine-months pregnant. Her folks think she’s in California living the high life with her baby’s GI father. In fact she’s in Tokyo, searching for a purpose, and eventually finding one in the ramshackle working-class alley where she grew up… Mitsuko Delivers is original, fanciful and adventurous – quintessentially Japanese.
For more information about screenings make sure you check out Third Window Films.
To enter and be in with a chance of winning a copy of this great film on DVD, all you have to do is leave a comment here, on our Toku Restaurant facebook post, or reply to our tweet telling us ‘What is the funniest Japanese comedy film or TV show you’ve seen?’
A random winner will be chosen and contacted on Friday, June 13th.
Good luck everyone and make sure you keep an eye out for the next Japan Centre competition!
