Confirms US Theatrical Premiere in July

After giving us masterpieces like Your Name and Spirited Away, Masashi Ando made a comeback with The Deer King in 2021.
Masashi Ando’s The Deer King movie will make its US premiere in select theaters on July 15. GKIDS has released an English-subbed trailer for the announcement.
It depicts a beautiful foster father-daughter relationship amid a deadly pandemic of the Black Wolf Fever.
The trailer shows a lot of misery and tragedy with the sick children and the main character’s adoptive daughter at the risk of being taken away from him.
I think the movie will be widely relatable for many as it shows a pandemic situation and the loss of loved ones because of it.
Not to relive the trauma, but anime films like these generally portray the narrative in a way that makes you cry about the tragedy poetically.
