せかいのおきく (2023): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2023, せかいのおきく is a notable film directed by Junji Sakamoto.

What it’s about. Edo-era Japan. If you are familiar with the attitude of Sakamoto Junji, you don’t even need the cheeky welcome to understand that the samurais, nobles, and landlords in this jidaigeki will not be portrayed in the heydays of their glory. And so it is: our welcome party are two rogue vagrants making their living as “manure men”, turning the waste from the tenement toilets into fertiliser sold to local farmers. Enter Okiku, the only daughter of a fallen samurai, and amongst the overflowing piles of excrement, a well-nourished love story unfolds.

Who’s in it. せかいのおきく stars Haru Kuroki as Okiku, Koichi Sato and Renji Ishibashi.
