\nBitters End has set North American distribution for \u201cAll the Lovers in the Night,\u201d Yukiko Sode\u2018s Yukino Kishii and Tadanobu Asano starrer that premiered in Un Certain Regard at Cannes earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeveral Futures has acquired the film for the U.S. and Ritual Films for Canada. The company has also closed a deal with Movies Matter for Thailand.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new deals join a slate of previously announced territories, including France, where Art House Films will distribute the film after releasing Sode\u2019s \u201cAristocrats,\u201d which drew more than 71,000 admissions in the country. Additional territories include Spain (Atalante), Bulgaria (NeterraTV+), Brazil (Belas Artes Grupo), South Korea (Pancinema), Taiwan (Andrews Film), Hong Kong (Edko Films), Singapore (Anticipate Pictures) and Indonesia (PT Falcon).<\/p>\n

\n\tBased on Mieko Kawakami\u2019s novel, the film follows Fuyuko, a freelance proofreader whose solitary existence shifts after she meets Mitsutsuka, a high school physics teacher, at a local culture center. Kishii plays Fuyuko, with Asano as Mitsutsuka.<\/p>\n

\n\tKawakami\u2019s novel became an international literary sensation, reaching English-language readers and more than a dozen other markets worldwide. It holds the distinction of being the first work of Japanese fiction to make the shortlist for the U.S. National Book Critics Circle Award.<\/p>\n

\n\tSode both wrote and directed the film, working from Kawakami\u2019s source material. Her previous feature \u201cAristocrats\u201d bowed at the International Film Festival Rotterdam ahead of its French theatrical run. She also wrote and directed the Disney+ series \u201cBecause We Forget Everything\u201d (2025).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI see this not as a story about the two of them, Fuyuko and Mitsutsuka, but as a portrait of a woman\u2019s everyday life after she falls in love. She isn\u2019t thinking about romance twenty-four hours a day, so by giving more time to moments that don\u2019t involve Mitsutsuka, I felt we could more clearly convey the subtle shifts in her daily life,\u201d Sode had told Variety<\/em> ahead of the film\u2019s Cannes premiere.<\/p>\n

\n\tKishii previously earned international acclaim for her performance in Sho Miyake\u2019s \u201cSmall, Slow But Steady,\u201d which bowed at the Berlin Film Festival, won her the best actress award at the Japan Academy Film Prize. Asano\u2019s role as Lord Kashigi Yabushige in FX\u2019s \u201cSh\u014dgun\u201d brought him a Golden Globe for best supporting actor on television, along with a Primetime Emmy nod \u2013 the first such nomination for a Japanese actor in that category.<\/p>\n
