Shikoku (死国)

from Cinema D‘Amore Hosted by Cinema D‘Amore

Love never dies… but sometimes, it really should. This week on Cinema D’Amore, Justin and Chuck dive into Shinichi Nagasaki’s Shikoku (1999), a haunting tale of lost love, restless spirits, and a mother determined to resurrect her daughter. The guys explore the film’s eerie atmosphere, supernatural love triangle, striking visuals, and place among J-horror classics. Join us for a trip to Shikoku, where the past refuses to stay buried.
