A little late to the party, but - Tran Anh Hung's "Norwegian Wood" gets a teaser

by Chris MaGee

Okay, while the Pow-Wow was being derailed by computer crashes and then the madness that was mounting the 2nd annual Shinsedai Cinema Festival a very teasing teaser trailer for Tran Anh Hung's screen adaptation of Haruki Murakami's novel "Norwegian Wood" spread like wildfire across the interwebs. It's gorgeous, it has The Beatles song that Murakami named his book after, and it has Ken'ichi Matsuyama in a role that will hopefully let him strectch the acting muscles that I know he possesses.

You can check out the teaser trailer for "Norwegian Wood" below, but I'm going to give Kevin Ouellette and Nippon Cinema the nod for finding this first. Enjoy All!
