A legendary Japanese film “Tora-san: Sunrise and Sunset” was screened at Bangladesh National Museum (BNM) on January 6 as a part of BNM’s ongoing “Juvenile and World Classic Film Show.” Some 500 Bangladeshi film funs and visitors, including a considerable number of youth relished the film.
One of the viewers said that “it was the first time for me to watch a Japanese film. I like Tora-san who is straightforward and caring. The story was fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it.”
NTV, the Embassy of Japan and the Japan Foundation will broadcast two other “Tora-san” films later in this year. The Embassy hopes that these films will familialise Japanese culture and faces amongst Bangladeshi people to further promote cultural ties between the two countries.
