About Japan Sinks
In the aftermath of a major earthquake, scientists predict that Japan will sink into the sea. As further disasters follow, politicians plead with other countries to take refugees, while scientists struggle to save Japan itself.
Directed by Shinji Higuchi, Japan Sinks leans on a strong ensemble — Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, Ko Shibasaki, Etsushi Toyokawa — 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 drama titles of 2006.
