Back in February, Ioncinema.com reported on the completion of an upcoming Canada-France production starring Déborah François, Hiroshi Abe, and Hidetoshi Nishijima called Memories Corner. Apparently news travels slow, because the project is just now beginning to get some coverage in Japan.
François plays a reporter who travels to Kobe in order to cover the memorial ceremonies being held for the 10th anniversary of the Great Hanshin earthquake. While interviewing the locals, she discovers that although the passage of time has healed the city, the traumatic events of that day still cast a large shadow. Full plot details are still yet to be revealed, but Abe is said to play a man who falls in love with François’s character.

The film was directed by Audrey Fouché...
