“Is Missing worth watching? Yes. It is a movie with a lot of meat in its story and holds a specific context on Japanese society and socioeconomics that adds a deeper layer of commentary beyond one’s surface-level impression.” – Ashley Hajimirsadeghi, MovieWeb
Special APUC Season 15 Midwest Premiere celebrating Halloween at FACETS.
Depressed and in debt following the death of his wife, Santoshi (Jiro Sato, Fabel) tells his young daughter he has found a way out. Pointing to the reward note, he vows to find the infamous serial killer “No Name” (Hiroya Shimizu, Tokyo Revengers), claiming he saw the man in the flesh a few days earlier. Kaeda (Aoi Ito, Blank) cannot believe her aloof, goofy father. But when he goes missing without a trace, she starts fearing the worst—and begins looking for him.
