Universal Pictures International & Parco Ready Japanese Release Of Baltasar Kormákur’s ‘Touch’, A Film With Strong Local Resonance
The film charts the love story between an Icelandic man and a Japanese woman who is a survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bomb attack of 1945.
Pic features Japanese stars Koki, Masahiro Motoki and Masatoshi Nakamura alongside Icelandic actors Egill Olafsson and Palmi Kormakur. Japanese distributor Parco has worked previously with Universal on titles such as The Northman, Cocaine Bear, Belfast, Mrs Harris Goes To Paris and Asteroid City. I was equally humbled and honored when asked to screen Touch in Oslo the week when the Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
