Mu (2019): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2019, Mu is a fantasy and musik film directed by Taichi Kimura, running about 9 minutes.

What it’s about. An experimental art film shot in Tokyo, Japan, ‘Mu’ combines black and white footage with a bespoke poem written by poet Shuya Masuda (inspired in part by the poem ‘Nu’ written by Ryuichi Tamura, ‘Mu’ literally meaning nothing, zero, void) alongside visuals inspired by photographer Daido Moriyama and a textured performance interlude by Japanese rapper Jin Dogg. In its sum, this film creates the physical manifestation of the imagined characters director Taichi Kimura has written in his previous film ‘Lost Youth’ and in his feature currently in development, ‘Neon’.

Who’s in it. Mu stars Jin Dogg and Manami Usamaru.
