Description:

The impressive debut feature Roar (JP 2020) unfolds two compelling parallel narratives in Japan's Fukui City. The story follows Ryo Anraku, who runs away from home after his older brother Makoto commits a horrendous crime. Ryo becomes entangled with a mysterious, silent vagrant, portrayed by director Ryo Katayama, who takes on jobs beating men. Concurrently, radio announcer Hiromi Mie Ota grapples with the increasingly aggressive attention from her boss, entering a halfhearted affair while yearning for genuine love and compassion. As the different forms of violence escalate in both Ryo's and Hiromi's lives, Roar builds to a gripping climax. The film culminates with these two strangers confronting the internal violence they harbor and their profound individual desires for liberation from their circumstances.
