About Bright Future
Buddies working at an oshibori factory bond over an uncontrollable rage neither can control, as well as a strange jellyfish they keep as a pet.
Directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Bright Future leans on a strong ensemble — Joe Odagiri, Tadanobu Asano, Tatsuya Fuji — 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 2003.
