Sunday, Feb 22, 2026 2:30 PM
Special Pre-Show live performance by Oto-Wa Taiko - Friday, February 20
Shortlisted for the Best International Feature Film Oscar
Directed by Lee Sang-il ("Rage"), "Kokuho" stars renowned Japanese actors Ryo Yoshizawa and Ryusei Yokohama. The film became an unexpected hit, reaching the highest-grossing domestic live-action film mark in 22 years at the Japanese box office.
Set in Nagasaki in 1964, it follows 14-year-old Kikuo, who, after his father's death, is mentored by a famous Kabuki actor. Alongside the actor's son, Shunsuke, Kikuo immerses himself in theatre. As they journey from acting school to prominent stages, they navigate challenges of brotherhood, betrayal, and ambition in their quest to become Kabuki masters.
"Kokuho" (meaning "national treasure") is a visually stunning tribute to the sacrifices artists make for the ultimate performance.
