Harmful substances in the ocean...Kunimura Jun, who took on a role that everyone hesitated to play, praises Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp's latest film, " MINAMATA, " produced and starring him , will be released on September 23rd . In conjunction with this, an interview video of Kunimura Jun, who plays the role of Chisso's president Nojima in the film , has been released.

Based on the 1975 photo book " MINAMATA " by photographers Eugene Smith and Eileen Mioko Smith, this long-awaited film adaptation, produced and starring Johnny himself, had its world premiere as a special invitational film at the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival, where Johnny's soulful performance was highly praised by media around the world. At the recent public preview screening in Japan, social media was flooded with passionate comments such as "It touched my heart so much that I couldn't stop crying," "It's an unforgettable film that stays in your mind beyond words," and "It's a film that you should see especially now, when there are people suffering all over the world ."

In the interview, Kunimura said of reading the script, "First of all, the strongest impression I had was that Johnny Depp, who I would love to work with if I were overseas, was making a film based on true events that happened in Japan." He continued, "The inner workings of Eugene's character were well portrayed. So, it wasn't just a film based on historical facts; I could read it as the story of Eugene's life, what he thought and how he lived, and that was very moving." Regarding working with Johnny Depp, he commented, "It was really fun. I don't know the real Eugene, but I'm sure he had the strength to remain unwavering once he made up his mind, and he was charming and kind to people. In that sense, Johnny was perfect to play him, and I felt that our appearances were very similar. I felt that Johnny Depp was the only one who could play Eugene."

The released stills show Kunimura attempting to negotiate with Eugene (Johnny Depp) at the Chisso factory, and a tense scene where he confronts Yamazaki, played by Sanada Hiroyuki, the leader of a movement demanding compensation from Chisso. His facial expressions convey without words the anguish and conflict of a man who shoulders the responsibility of the company, and who is by no means a simple villain. This difficult role was only possible for Kunimura Jun, who has played a variety of roles in the past and approached them sincerely with his keen insight. Don't miss the passionate performance of one of Japan's leading actors!

" MINAMATA " will be released nationwide on September 23rd .
