About A Story of Anna
A young woman escapes from a city in the near future, where people's anger is medically controlled, and drifts away to a lonely island. It is the developer of the emotion-controlling medicine who finds her and marries her. Her memory is erased and she starts an entirely new quiet life as a different person. But an unexpected incident happens; many people get hurt; the truth is revealed; then she falls in love... And this is a comedy after all!
Directed by Saki Yamada, A Story of Anna leans on a strong ensemble — Akiko Monou, Yukijiro Hotaru, Mutsuo Yoshioka — 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.
