The concept of the second chance has always been an audience favorite in cinema, with a plethora of movies having regretful protagonists reliving their lives in an effort to correct their mistakes. Written by Ryuho Okawa (who is also executive producer) and directed by Hiroshi Akabane, “Before the Sunset” implements the trope in a setting that also includes a focus on show business. The film will receive a theatrical release from September 29 at select AMC Theatres across the U.S. and will also be released in more than 250 cinemas across Japan by Nikkatsu Corporation.
