Another film based upon the strange goings-on in Japan’s Aokigahara Suicide Forest is on its way, entitled The Sea of Trees, and judging from the trailer and the synopsis, this one will just be skirting the horrors that are resting in Mount Fuji’s shadow. As a result, unless proven otherwise, this will probably be our last story on it.
Directed by Gus Van Sant, The Sea of Trees stars Matthew McConaughey, Naomi Watts, and Ken Watanabe. Look for it in theaters and on all digital platforms August 26th.
Synopsis:
In this powerful story of love and redemption, Matthew McConaughey stars as Arthur Brennan, an American professor who travels to Japan in the midst of a personal crisis. As he wanders through a mysterious forest with a dark past, he experiences flashbacks of his fraught but loving relationship with his wife, Joan (Naomi Watts), and meets an enigmatic stranger, Takumi (Ken Watanabe), who is lost and injured. Arthur devotes himself to saving Takumi and returning him home to safety, and the two embark on a spiritual, life-changing journey of friendship, discovery, and healing—one which may ultimately re-connect Arthur with his love for his wife.
