Ten Years Japan

Ten Years Japan (2018) is a five-segment anthology drama you can watch online on iFILM. Five Japanese directors each imagined a different corner of their country a decade out — and not one of them liked what they saw.

The segments move from bureaucratic drift to private grief to the quiet violence of everyday normalcy. Jun Kunimura and Hana Sugisaki appear across the different stories. Director Chie Hayakawa, who later made Plan 75 (2022), contributes one of the shorts alongside Kei Ishikawa and three other filmmakers. Colder and more restrained than the Thai entry in the series — closer to Ozu than to thriller. Stream Ten Years Japan (2018) online on iFILM.
