Snippet:
When it was announced last year that the acclaimed manga “Look Back” by Tatsuki Fujimoto would be getting a live-action adaptation, I was both excited and confused. Excited because the film was being helmed by Hirokazu Koreeda, one of Japan’s best directors, and confused because an anime adaptation had already been released in 2024.
