Trailer - Wararaifu!!

A trailer for Yuichi Kimura’s Wararaifu!!, aka “What a Wonderful Life!!”, has been released via YouTube.

Kimura is best known for his work as a comedian, writer, and character actor, but added film director to his resume with 2009’s tepidly-received “Nisesatsu” (Counterfeit Money).

In his latest film, Jun Murakami (of the comedy duo Shizuru) stars as Shuichi Furukawa, a young man who’s currently living alone in Tokyo but plans on moving in with his fiancee, Mari (Yu Kashii). One day, he receives an unexpected call from his mother reminding him that they would be moving out of his childhood home the following day. Having totally forgotten about this fact, Shuichi quickly makes his way over, but no one seems to be home when he gets there. Unable to find the spare key, he pauses to reflect on his childhood. As individual items are moved out of the house later on in the day, he remembers various incidents involving his friends and his completely ordinary, yet fun family.

“Wararaifu!!” premiered at the Okinawa International Film Festival back in March. Phantom Film will be releasing it publicly in Japan from January 29, 2011.
