On 22 March, citizens of Sarajevo will have the opportunity to enjoy yet another great Japanese film, directed by Kozaburo Yoshimura called ‘Tale of Genji’ (Genji monogatari).
Based on the classic novel by Murasaki Shikibu, written over 1000 years ago. Genji, the son of the emperor, has gained renown among the nobility of Kyoto for his charm and good looks, yet he cannot stop himself from pursuing the one object of desire he must never obtain: his father’s young and beautiful bride. Following the tragic consequences of his obsession, Genji wanders from one affair to another, always seeking some sort of resolution to his life.
The film will be shown in Meeting Point Cinema at 5.30 p.m. and the entrance is free for all.
