Chie Hayakawa's first feature film "PLAN 75" (2022) won a Camera d‘or award-Special Mention at the 75th Cannes International Film Festival and was selected to represent Japan at the Academy Awards that year. Her latest film "Renoir" is an international co-production of Japan, France, and Singapore.
"PLAN 75" depicted a near future in which the elderly are forced to choose between life and death, and issues a sharp warning to modern people.
In her latest movie "Renoir", Chie Hayakawa tells the story of an 11-year-old girl, Fuki, who lives with her sick father and her busy mother in the summer of the late 1980s. While indulging in fantasies that only a girl can have, she spends her days peeking into the world of adults, each with their own unique circumstances. The audience will be moved by the loneliness and pain of adults similar to themselves, as well as by the tingling emotions that only a child can feel.
The main character, Fuki, is played by Yui Suzuki (鈴木唯) in a fresh performance that will captivate everyone's heart. Hikari Ishida (石田ひかり) plays Fuki's mother Utako, and Lily Franky plays her father Keiji. The cast also includes Ayumi Nakajima (中島歩), Yuumi Kawai (河合優実)"Desert of Namibia", and Ryuta Bando (坂東龍汰), who play the adults Fuki meets.
