From Manga to Movie Magic | Entertainment and Celebrity News

A touching new film, “Look Back,” premiering at Venice, follows two girls who bond over manga—only to drift apart as life unfolds. Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, the film was inspired by a manga he discovered during the pandemic, igniting his passion to adapt it. He’s captivated by the art of manga creation—from shaky sketches to digital mastery—and even had actors spend months learning to draw, with some of their artwork appearing in the final film. Once stigmatized, manga is now celebrated as serious global art, akin to classical literature. With a shot at the Golden Lion, this heartfelt story proves how deeply personal art can transcend mediums and still resonate universally.
