CINEMA FROM JAPAN: FILMS BY JAPANESE DIRECTORS, IMAMURA AND KOREEDA

The first film of this evening's double-bill is Hirokazu Koreeda's "After Life" (1998, 118 mins). It is a thought-provoking film about what might happen to us, after we "pass away." The second film, is the more recent and slightly longer, "Warm Water Under a Red Bridge" (2002, 119 mins).
 

Directed by Shohei Imamura, it tells the story of a man seeking - and finding, treasure... though is it what he was seeking and what is the surprise that awaits him. Come along and find out. Both in Japanese, with English subtitles. Only £5.50 (£4.50 for students) to see both films. Reservations can be made by ringing the box office on 020 8237 1111.
