Four Japanese films that each competed at the Cannes Film Festival will screen on May 16 as part of Japan‘s Country of Honor program at the Cannes Film Market, spanning 36 years of the country’s Cannes history.

The lineup opens with Ichikawa Kon’s “Her Brother” (1960), which was selected for competition at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival. The film follows the relationship between a strong-willed older sister and a younger brother who, starved of affection amid a difficult family dynamic, slides toward delinquency. Starring Kishi Keiko and Kawaguchi Hiroshi, with cinematography by Miyagawa Kazuo, the film is held by Kadokawa Corp.
