Check out the trailer for The Deer King, Masashi Ando's directorial debut. Here is the synopsis:
In the aftermath of a brutal war, former soldier Van toils in a mine controlled by the ruling empire. One day, his solitary existence is upended when a pack of wild dogs carrying a deadly and incurable disease attack, leaving only Van and a young girl named Yuna as survivors. Finally free, the pair seek out a simple existence in the countryside but are pursued by nefarious forces. Intent on protecting Yuna at all costs, Van must uncover the true cause of the plague ravaging the kingdom—and its possible cure.
GKIDS will show the film in a fan preview event in the U.S. on July 13, 2022 (in Japanese with English subtitles) and on the 14th with the English dub. Masashi Ando will give a special introduction at the fan preview events. The Deer King will get a limited release starting on July 15, 2022. If you want to see it, tickets go on sale June 10, 2022.
The Deer King looks really interesting to me! I will say, what the movie deals with hits a little too close to home with what's going on in the world right now. Still, I need to see this one!
