What it’s about. Based on the 1990 experimental novel by Japanese author Banana Yoshimoto, Lisa Spilliaert’s feature debut N.P is a translation of the text into a "silent" cinematic scenario. Translation itself is at the heart of N.P’s narrative, which details the absurdities of protagonist Kazami’s attempts to translate the short stories of fictional author Sarao Takase-- as well as her sometimes disturbing interactions with the late author’s children. The previous three translators of Takase’s writing committed suicide in mysterious circumstances and Kazami’s encounters with his daughter (and lover) Sui increasingly pull her into a world of darkly chaotic energy.
Who’s in it. N.P stars Clara Spilliaert as Kazami Kano, Mikiko Kawamura as Sui Minowa, Hiroshi Miyamura as Otohiko Takase and Saartje Van de Steene as Saki Takase, among others.
How it landed. With an audience score of 8.2/10, N.P sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
