from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM ET

Our next film is written, directed, and edited by the great Japanese director, Hirokazu Kore-eda. Like Father, Like Son or そして父になる,  is a 2013 drama starring Masaharu Fukuyama  as businessman Ryota who faces a life-changing decision after he receives a phone call from the hospital informing him that his biological son was switched at birth.

Watch the Trailer. 

Films should be viewed in advance of our meetings. This film can be viewed for free on sites like Kanopy, which can be accessed with a Boston Public Library card, or purchased online at various sites.  

This meeting has been rescheduled to avoid a time conflict on October 30th. It is also the last JSB film club meeting of 2024. 

The Japan Society of Boston Film Club meets on the last Wednesday of every other month to discuss great classic and contemporary Japanese films. The purpose of our club is to support the  community of Japan enthusiasts in the New England region by creating a space for thoughtful and sociable discussion.

The JSB Film Club Website has supplementary materials for past films available to members. See the member portal for the code to access the blog!

If you have any suggestions for future films for the club, please email  joanneha@japansocietyboston.org
