About Un-Nan - The Legend of the Eight-headed Serpent
This film is the second installment in a Shimane trilogy by director Yoshinari Nishikori, following White Ship. Tetsuro, a third-year high school student living in Unnan City, delivers milk produced at his father’s factory to his hospitalized mother every morning. As he approaches graduation, he finds himself troubled by his future path and his feelings for his classmate Takako. His friends Yuji and Kumiko try to help his romance succeed, but things don’t go as planned… Set in Unnan, a region dotted with sites tied to ancient mythology, the film portrays the everyday lives of the people who live there in a gentle human drama.
Directed by Yoshinari Nishikôri, Un-Nan - The Legend of the Eight-headed Serpent leans on a strong ensemble — Ryô Hashizume, Nana Yanagisawa, Suguru Matsuzawa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2008.
