世界で一番美しい夜 (2008): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2008, 世界で一番美しい夜 is a drama film directed by Daisuke Tengan, running about 160 minutes.

What it’s about. Betrayed and disgraced, big-city reporter Kazuya Mizuno is banished to a desk at Kaname's boring little town newspaper. But Kaname isn't as boring as it seems on the surface. Not with characters around like Shimeko, a girl genius with a childlike lack of propriety, and her ace fisherman/folk-singer dad. Or the overbearing and unpleasant local Shinto priest, a former Christian cultist. Or Endo, Kazuya's new colleague, a bitter drunk after his son's suicide. Or Kin, a former terrorist, now a hermit on his boat engaging in secret "research." Or perhaps most importantly Teruko, the hypnotically beautiful bar owner, the focus of all manner of innuendo and intrigue. Something mysterious, even mystical, is going on Kaname, and hapless Kazuya is about to be thrown into the middle of it.

Who’s in it. 世界で一番美しい夜 stars Tomorowo Taguchi as Kazuya Mizuno, Sarara Tsukifune as Teruko Hinohara, Haruki Ichikawa as Midori and Shunsuke Matsuoka as Ishizuka, among others.
