A full trailer has been released for Tetsuya Nakashima‘s upcoming film Confessions (Kokuhaku). In addition to showing off some of the stunning visuals we’ve come to expect from Nakashima over the years, the new footage seems to give a much clearer impression of the film’s tone than the previously released teaser.
Also, a few new production stills from the film were recently released to various media outlets by Toho.
The film is based on an award-winning novel written by rookie author and housewife Kanae Minato. Actress Takako Matsu (K-20, Villon’s Wife) plays a dedicated teacher at a junior high school who’s young daughter is found brutally murdered. Believing two of her own students are responsible, she decides to leave the school, but not before a final chilling confession to her class in which she informs them that she’s already enacted her plan for vengeance. A series of further confessions bring other incidents regarding students to light, leading up to a shocking plot twist.
Yoshino Kimura also stars as the mother of one of the suspected boys and Masaki Okada plays a young teacher who comes in to replace Matsu’s character at the school without fully understanding the situation he’s walking into.
“Kokuhaku” will be released by Toho on June 5, 2010.
