Plan 7515

Directed by Chie Hayakawa | Japan | 2022 | 1h 53m | Japanese w/ English subtitles | Starring Chieko Baishô, Hayato Isomura, Stefanie Arianne, Taka Takao, Yumi Kawai

In a near-future world, the Japanese government introduces a measure to combat the economic burden of an ageing population – encouraging its senior citizens to be voluntarily euthanised. After being let go from her job, 78-year-old hotel maid Michi considers signing up. A poetically bittersweet drama effectively combining dystopian science-fiction with an humanistic portrait of ageing and loneliness. Golden Camera Award winner at Cannes Film Festival 2022.

Reviews

‘[Chie Hayakawa] direction is stately and considered, allowing space to savour little details along the way…’
★★★★
Leslie Felperin, The FT

‘The anger that fringes such bittersweet moments gradually accumulates into a palpable and lingering rage at how good we’ve become at branding cruelty as compassion.’
★★★★
David Ehrlich, IndieWire
