TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The film was originally set in Busan, South Korea, but was changed to Hiroshima, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It's based on the short story of the same name by Haruki Murakami from his 2014 short story collection "Men Without Women," though the director acknowledged that he also took inspiration from two other stories of the eight in the collection: "Scheherazade" and "Kino."

In an interview published in "The Boston Globe" on January 16, 2022, director Ryusuke Hamaguchi said that when filming either Hidetoshi Nishijima or Toko Miura in the car alone facing the camera, he would have the other actor stand next to the camera so that they feel they were still working together.

Ryûsuke Hamaguchi and Takamasa Oe became the first Japanese to win the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes.

Tôko Miura, playing the chauffeur, did not drive in real life and did not even hold a driver's license when she was cast.

Popular Dialogues

"Kôshi Takatsuki: But even if you think you know someone well, even if you love that person deeply, you can't completely look into that person's heart. You'll just feel hurt. But if you put in enough effort, you should be able to look into your own heart pretty well. So in the end, what we should be doing is to be true to our hearts and come to terms with it in a capable way. If you really want to look at someone, then your only option is to look at yourself squarely and deeply."

"Lee Yoon-a: [in her role as Sonya in the "Uncle Vanya" play; using Korean Sign Language] We'll live through the long, long days, and through the long nights. We'll patiently endure the trials that fate sends our way. Even if we can't rest, we'll continue to work for others both now and when we have grown old. And when our last hour comes we'll go quietly. And in the great beyond, we'll say to Him that we suffered, that we cried, that life was hard. And God will have pity on us. Then you and I we'll see that bright, wonderful, dreamlike life before our eyes. We shall rejoice, and with tender smiles on our faces, we'll look back on our current sorrow. And then at last, we shall rest. I believe it. I strongly believe it from the bottom of my heart. When that time comes, we shall rest."
