Update on “Then Summer Came”, starring Joe Odagiri

The new stylejam subsite for Ryo Iwamatsu’s Then Summer Came (first mentioned by ryuganji) is up and with it comes some new info. The official English title is translated from the original working title, “Soshite Natsu ga Kita” and not the current Japanese title “Shiawase no Tamio” (Tamio’s happiness).

Plot: Tamio (Joe Odagiri) and his father Nobuo (Yoshio Harada) are a completely irresponsible pair who are stuck in the rut of their own roles of parent and child. With Tamio’s wedding on the horizon both men go through tremendous, and occasionally misguided efforts to make the event special.

Cast: Joe Odagiri, Kumiko Aso, Yoshio Harada, Shinobu Otake, Suzuki Matsuo, Manami Fuji, Kiyoshiro Imawano, Kaoru Kobayashi, Noriko Eguchi, Eri Ishida, Tetsushi Tanaka, Ken Mitsuishi

Theatrical release is planned for this summer, with music production handled by jazz punk band Katteni-Shiyagare.
