"Why must we keep fighting?"
Set in a uniquely retro-futuristic world, "CASSHERN" addresses this theme in a powerful drama that is at once entertaining and profound.
The author behind this extraordinary project is Kazuaki Kiriya, an acclaimed fashion photographer and music video director. In addition to co-writing and directing the film, he also served as its cinematographer.
He recruited some of Japan's finest creative talents to help him, including CG Supervisor - Haruhiko Shono(GADGET), Visual FX Supervisor - Toshiyuki Kimura (Dragonhead, Ring), Action Scene Story Board - Shinji Higuchi (Gamela, Evangelion), Production Designer - Yuji Hayashida (Ritual, Azumi), Costume - Michiko Kitamura (Ichi the Killer)
The cast, a mix of veteran actors and rising stars, is a veritable who's-who of Japanese film talent. Playing the part of Casshern is Yusuke Iseya (Distance, Afterlife); his fiancee, Luna, is played by Kumiko Aso (Pulse) and Toshiaki Karasawa (Welcome Back, Mr. McDonald) is their mortal enemy, the leader of the mutant humans. Akira Terao (Akira Kurosawa's Dreams) and Kanako Higuchi (Shara) are some more of the household names that make up the superb supporting cast.
"CASSHERN" harnesses the incredible talents of this team in an epic of sweeping visual power and deep emotional resonance.
