In This Corner of the World starts UK previews 28 June, before opening 30 June.
It’s in this tradition that a new animated feature falls: Sunao Katabuchi’s In This Corner of the World, an adaptation of the manga of the same name written and illustrated by Fumiyo Kōno.
The film now comes to the UK, after proving a sleeper hit at the box office in Japan and amassing a slate of high-profile local awards.
The film spans across the ’30s and ’40s, focused on the cities of Hiroshima and Kure at that time, living under the shadow of an increasingly menacing war.
