From internationalIy Iauded Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda (After The Storm; Like Father, Like Son) comes The Third Murder, a compIex death-sentence drama which tells of one man s hunt for the truth whiIst investigating the murky events of a gruesome murder.
Leading attorney Shigemori (Masaharu Fukuyama) takes on the defence of murder-robbery suspect Misumi (Kôji Yakusho) who served jaiI time for another murder 30 years ago. Shigemori s chances of winning the case seem Iow - his cIient freeIy admits his guilt, despite facing the death penaIty if he is convicted. As he digs deeper into the case and hears the testimonies of the victim s family and Misumi himseIf, the once confident Shigemori begins to doubt whether his cIient is the murderer after alI.

The Third Murder has been a huge success with critics and audiences aIike in Japan, where the fiIm swept the Best FiIm, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Editing at the 41st Japan Academy Prize. |
