Well this looks wonderful already! An early teaser trailer has debuted for the latest film from Oscar winning Japanese filmmaker
Ryusuke Hamaguchi that is coming out this summer in Japan. After making
Drive My Car and
Evil Does Not Exist, his next film is titled
All of a Sudden and it's set in Paris and shot in the French language (along with Japanese of course). Two scholars exchange letters about chance and risk. As the philosopher falls ill, their academic correspondence evolves into intimate discussions about mortality & a deeper connection forms between them. The film is loosely inspired by a collection letters written between philosopher Makiko Miyano and medical anthropologist Maho Isono which were published in the
book "You and I – The Illness Suddenly Get Worse." The letters cover Miyano and Isono's thoughts on life, illness and death as Miyano fought metastatic breast cancer. The film reinterprets the story following these two getting to know each other in Paris walking around & discussing things. Starring
Virginie Efira,
Tao Okamoto,
Kyōzō Nagatsuka,
Teruyo Kurosaki. And it will feature a score by Canadian-French composer
Samuel Andreyev. This film is set for a Japanese release in June and is expected to premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.

I'll be there are the world premiere in Cannes in May - would not miss this for anything. //
