About Your Friend
While researching a story on a school for problem children, Nakahara meets Emi, a college volunteer with a compelling tale of her own. After overcoming her initial reluctance to open up to the writer, Emi talks about her busted leg and her childhood friendship with the chronically ill Yuka.
Directed by Ryuichi Hiroki, Your Friend leans on a strong ensemble — Anna Ishibashi, Ayu Kitaura, Yuriko Yoshitaka — 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 2008.
