About Nunchaku and Soul
This unconventional dance film depicts the struggles of two middle-aged men competing in a dance contest and the people who warmly support them. Numata, a restaurant manager whose only talent is nunchucks, a hobby he had since childhood, is invited to dance classes by a woman he met at a matchmaking party. He is then provoked by his instructor into entering a dance contest. Meanwhile, Numata is captivated by the soul dance performed at a live show by Soma, a man struggling to keep his band afloat, and asks Soma to take him on as an apprentice. The two form a duo and decide to compete in the dance contest.
Directed by Akiyoshi Koba, Nunchaku and Soul leans on a strong ensemble — Masahiro Kuroki, Atsushi Takahashi, Shinichiro Osawa — 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 2019.
