白鍵と黒鍵の間に
Between the White Key and the Black Key Synopsis
In an audacious reworking of the biopic, this ensemble drama sees jazz pianist Minami Hiroshi’s memoir cleverly reinterpreted into a surreal and playful story about chasing dreams, disillusionment and the inner lives of professional artists. Closer to playing two sides of the same coin than tackling a dual role, Ikematsu Sosuke embodies two versions of Minami – the naïve upstart and the jaded pro – who magically cross paths as they become entangled with a cast of colourful characters in the seedy alleyways and jazz clubs of Ginza over a single night.
Between the White Key and the Black Key (2023) is a music and drama film directed by Masanori Tominaga, released on October 6, 2023 with a runtime of 1h 34m. It stars Sosuke Ikematsu, Riisa Naka, Go Morita and Kazuya Takahashi. Viewers rate it 7.8 out of 10 across 5 ratings.
