Summary
Kazuo Ishiguro's author-director Kei Ishikawa felt compelled to bring his poignant novel "A Pale View of Hills" to the screen before those who experienced postwar Japan and 1980s England were gone, fearing their stories would fade. The movie, set in these significant eras, is competing at the Cannes Film Festival, where its screening marks a special occasion as it journeys through 78 years of cinematic history.
