About The Kindhearted Man
Realtor Eguchi has a strange encounter with a female ghost when he shows an old house to a client and later learns about a couple murdered by a robber there. Soon after this, he loses everything; his wife leaves him and ends up working at a building demolition company, where he becomes attracted to a colleague called Fujiko. However, the more he wants her, the more the female ghost that rocked the core of his peaceful life returns to haunt him.
Directed by Daisuke Yamanouchi, The Kindhearted Man leans on a strong ensemble — Toko Namiki, Kurumi Tamaki, Ririka Hoshikawa — 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 crime titles of 2019.
