Ahead of its UK release next month, a new trailer and batch of images have arrived online for writer-director Hirokazu Koreeda’s Japanese mystery drama The Third Murder which stars Fukuyama Masaharu, Yakusho Koji, and Hirose Suzu; take a look below…
Leading attorney Shigemori takes on the defence of murder-robbery suspect Misumi who served jail time for another murder 30 years ago. Shigemori’s chances of winning the case seem low – his client freely admits his guilt, despite facing the death penalty if he is convicted. As he digs deeper into the case, as he hears the testimonies of the victim’s family and Misumi himself, the once confident Shigemori begins to doubt whether his client is the murderer after all.
The Third Murder is set for release on March 23rd.
