SIX FOUR: PART I

SYNOPSIS: Fourteen years after a horrific, unsolved kidnapping-murder known only by its case file number — “Six Four” — a burned-out police press liaison is dragged back into the case just as the statute of limitations looms and a chillingly similar crime erupts. Adapted from Hideo Yokoyama’s mammoth bestselling novel, this meticulous, slow-building procedural exposes the bitter rivalries dividing a prefecture’s detective and administrative divisions, and one man’s quiet crusade for the truth. Director Takahisa Zeze’s sprawling two-part epic begins here, launching one of Japanese cinema’s most acclaimed crime sagas.
