A New Wind Blows (2021): cast, story & where to watch
2021 · Film
Released in 2021, A New Wind Blows is a notable film directed by Yutaro Nakamura.
What it’s about. This is the question posited by director Nakamura Yutaro at the start of his latest film, a series of vignettes that bleed into each other. Memories? dreams? Whatever they are, they belong to highschooler Hikari who, along with a friend named Yujiro, get involved with an emotionally unstable man named Takaya. Flash-forward a decade or so and they are all 20-somethings bumbling around on New Year’s Eve night. Hikari has picked up an admirer, Kotaro, while Takaya is shacked up with a young woman named Anzu. A tumultuous night together leads to a quarrel and a truly bizarre New Year’s Day. It’s not a straightforward experience as we surf through these experiences and question whether they are imagined but the feeling of airy freedom and endless possibilities at the end is pleasant.
Who’s in it. A New Wind Blows stars Yutaro Nakamura as Kotaro and Takaya Shibata as Takaya.
