Movie "Waiting for the Bear" Trailer Release & Media Coverage Summary

映画「くまをまつ」2025/6/7㊏~ポレポレ東中野ほか公開｜監督・滝野弘仁

The trailer for the movie "Waiting for the Bear" has finally been released. The trailer was produced by director Aya Kawazoe, who has received high acclaim for her Cannes Film Festival entries "Tremendously Big" and "Howl," and it is a wonderful piece that encapsulates the film's worldview. Immediately after its release, it was picked up by various media outlets and caused a major stir on X (formerly Twitter).

Additionally, a comment from Shozo Ichiyama, Programming Director of the Tokyo International Film Festival, has been released.

"Waiting for the Bear" is a mysterious film. It lacks the nostalgic atmosphere one might imagine from a plot about a boy spending a summer in an old folk house where his grandfather once lived. The entire film is filled with an instability that makes it difficult to judge whether what is on screen is reality or fantasy, and it strongly shakes the viewer's heart. Suzu Hirano's unique presence perfectly embodies this instability in the best sense of the word. I cannot take my eyes off the future work of Hirohito Takino, who has created this worldview in his directorial debut."
