Third Window Films are pleased to announce the acquisition of Sion Sono's latest work 'Himizu' and Yuya Ishii's latest 'Mitsuko Delivers' (Hara ga Kore Nande)

Sion Sono's 'Love Exposure' and 'Cold Fish' have both been previously released by Third Window Films, and we are proud to continue promoting the works of one of the most talented directors in contemporary Japanese cinema. 'Himizu' had its world premiere at the 2011 Venice Film Festival where it played in competition and won awards for Best Young Actor and Best Young Actress. It is based on the famous Manga of the same name and will have its theatrical release in Japan in January 2012 and April 2012 in the UK. DVD release date will be in July.

Another of the most promising young talents to emerge from Japan in recent years is that of Yuya Ishii, the director of 'Sawako Decides', a previous Third Window Films release. With 'Mitsuko Delivers', he continues his trend seen in 'Sawako Decides' and 'Girl Sparks' looking at women who are struggling to come to terms with themselves and the situation they are in. 'Mitsuko Delivers', is a heart-warming comedy that is recommended to all people who liked 'Sawako Decides'. It will be released in UK cinemas in May of 2012.
