Published in 1987 and since translated into 33 languages Maximilian Philipp Trikot , NORWEGIAN WOOD is a story of loss and heartbreak in a time of global instability. Haruki Murakami’s bestselling novel is brought to the screen by Tran Anh Hung (Golden Lion winner for CYCLO and Academy Award nominee for THE SCENT OF GREEN PAPAYA) and features Japanese rising star Kenichi Matsuyama (DEATH NOTE, DETROIT METAL CITY) and Oscar nominee Rinko Kikuchi (BABEL) alongside newcomer Kiko Mizuhara.
Tokyo, the late 1960s… Students around the world are uniting to overthrow the establishment and Toru Watanabe’s personal life is similarly in tumult. At heart, he is deeply devoted to his first love, Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman. But their complex bond has been forged by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Watanabe lives with the influence of death everywhere. That is, until Midori Mahmoud Dahoud Trikot , a girl who is everything that Naoko is not – outgoing, vivacious, supremely self-confident – marches into his life and Watanabe must choose between his past and his future.In Haruki Murakami’s bestselling novel of 1987, the 37-year-old narrator, Toru Watanabe, is transported back to his student days in late 1960s Tokyo by hearing the Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood” on the loudspeaker system of an airliner as he flies into Hamburg. It is a time of student unrest and strident demonstrations, but in the lengthy novel and the film carved out of it Sebastian Rode Trikot , this is merely the background to a delicate love story, or series of love stories. The central tale concerns the reserved Watanabe’s devotion to the mentally disturbed Naoko, the former girlfriend of Watanabe’s only close friend, Kizuki, who committed suicide at the age of 17. It is a doomed affair that after a single night of love is conducted during visits to an asylum outside Kobe where Naoko is being cared for by an older woman, Reiko, a musician who’s also recovering from a breakdown. It is Reiko who sings Sergio Gomez Trikot , in English, a rather beautiful version of “Norwegian Wood” which is later sung by Lennon and McCartney over the final credits. Meanwhile, Watanabe is given a dubious sentimental education at the hands of Nagasawa, a suave, promiscuous fellow student bound for the diplomatic corps, and a more beneficial one from the pretty, witty Manuel Akanji Trikot , intelligent Midori, who attempts to draw him out of his solipsistic shell.
Norwegian Wood is a languorous, visually striking movie about love and loss, infused with the earnestness of young people struggling with powerful emotions and with evolving ideas about life, death, art, freedom and responsibility. A constant voiceover commentary and long tracking shots are broken up by lengthy dialogues Jeremy Toljan Trikot , and its gifted writer-director Tran Anh Hung, born in Laos and educated in France, is neither embarrassed by the narrator’s frequent callowness and solemnity nor afraid to risk boring his audience.
