Stray Dog | 野良犬 J-Film

Drama

Presented by JICC, Embassy of Japan and Japan Commerce Association of Washington, D.C., Inc.

20 JUNE 2018 WED, 6:30 PM JICC
Presented in conjunction with the JICC's exhibition A New League

A bad day gets worse for young detective Murakami when a pickpocket steals his gun on a hot, crowded bus. Desperate to right the wrong, he goes undercover, scavenging Tokyo’s sweltering streets for the stray dog whose desperation has led him to a life of crime. With each step, cop and criminal’s lives become more intertwined and the investigation becomes an examination of Murakami’s own dark side.

Starring Toshiro Mifune as the rookie cop and Takashi Shimura as the seasoned detective who keeps him on the right side of the law, Stray Dog (Nora inu) goes beyond crime thriller, probing the squalid world of postwar Japan and the nature of the criminal mind.
