What day and time will 'Call Me Chihiro' release? Everything you need to know about Japanese drama film
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: When it comes to extraordinary filmmaking, nothing can beat alluring Japanese movies that are calming but also tell moving stories buffeted by the particular idiosyncrasies of the protagonists. Netflix's upcoming movie 'Call Me Chihiro' is a great treat for cinephiles, as it brings with it a beautiful interplay of drama and an honest look at life-altering questions that haunt us all. You might think this movie is a real-life adaptation to our favourite Ghibli film 'Spirited Away', but you're wrong. Although, the lead does give us little 'Chihiro' vibes.
The film is written and directed by Rikiya Imaizumi, known for films like, 'Over The Town', 'Just Only Love', and 'Straying'. Imaizumi is also known for his episodic narrative style, which mostly follows a comedic path. 'Call Me Chihiro' will tell the story of the protagonist's personal emotional struggles, love and acceptance, past and present. It will be a journey of the lead, Chihiro, played by Kasumi Arimura, known for her charismatic work in 'We Made a Beautiful Bouquet' and 'Flying Colours'.
