Join the Koenji Cinema Club at The Den for a unique and unexpected independent or world cinema film in English or with English subtitles, which is usually hard to watch on a big screen in Japan.
About
Our 7th edition will be held on Friday, February 27th at 7 PM for an American neo-noir depicting a brutal descent into moral extremity, exploring how far one can go when stripped of comfort, choice, and restraint, turning violence into a bleak meditation on loyalty, punishment, and will.
We'd like to make the emphasis more on the event experience rather than the movie itself, encouraging everyone to attend the film without learning too much about it beforehand to go in somewhat blind and unbiased, placing more significance on the pre-screening mingling and post-screening discussion with other audience members over a beer or soft drink.
So come on down, sip on something tasty, and mingle with fellow film enthusiasts as we delve into the artistry, creativity, and unique perspectives of movies that are often difficult to watch in Japan.
Whether you are a seasoned cinephile or simply looking to broaden your cinematic horizons, this is a chance to explore films in a welcoming and laid-back atmosphere.
Time:
Open 7:00 PM
Start 7:30 PM
Discussion 9:30-11:00 PM
(If you’d like to just watch the film and sneak out afterward, that’s alright too!)
Address: 4-25-8 Koenjiminami 2/3F.
