"Nobody knows" (Japan) English trailer

Synopsis:

Yuuya Yagira was named Best Actor at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival for his moving portrayal of the older brother trying desperately to support his three younger siblings in writer-director Hirokazu Kore-eda's masterful work NOBODY KNOWS. Kore-eda (MABOROSI, AFTER LIFE) also produced and edited the film, which was nominated for the Palme d'Or and was Japan's entry for the Academy Awards in 2004. Yagira stars as Akira, a determined and resourceful 12-year-old boy forced to take care of Kyoko (Ayu Kitaura), Shigeru (Hiei Kimura), and Yuki (Momoko Shimizu) every time their mother, Keiko (Japanese pop star and TV actress YOU), goes away for extended periods of time. Akira does the shopping, Kyoko does the laundry, Shigeru causes trouble, and Yuki is endlessly cute. However, in order to remain in their new apartment, the three younger children are not allowed outside or else the landlord, who does not know they live there, will evict them. Akira tries to teach his sisters and brother, as none of them attends school, with varying success. They have no friends, save for Saki (Hanae Kan), an offbeat outsider. When Keiko disappears and the money starts running out, the children are faced with severe problems, and tragedy lurks. Kore-eda based this powerful tale on a true story of abandoned children, and he has filmed NOBODY KNOWS with a documentarian's eye, lending it added reality that makes it that much more heartwarming and, ultimately, heartbreaking.

[Poth1223]

[whitexchina]

This trailer looks and sounds toooo happy.

The movie is really quite and sad and the true story is a horror story... much worse.

Great film though!

[AlastairJack5]

This is one of the best and most beautiful yet most disturbing film I have ever seen, this trailer is misleading

[LightWorkerBass]

whats the song @ 0:47 ??????????

[waverider201]

I'd recommend this movie to anyone. This harrowing, bleak yet touching film is such a precautionary tale about the consequences of neglecting children that it shouldn't be ignored. Ultimately, this film is about lost childhood, family bonds and determination and hope amidst despair. A must see to get an appreciation of how hard life can get and to never take anything for granted.
