The fairytale-adaptation trend of a decade ago meets the murder-mystery trend of today in Once Upon a Crime (now streaming on Netflix), a Japanese film that answers the burning question on everybody’s mind: What if we subbed out Hercule Poirot for Little Red Riding Hood? OK, maybe it’s not quite so burning, this yeah-sure-what-the-hey premise that seems like it has potential for comedy and/or cleverness.
The Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan (ACA) is sponsoring the seventh ACA Cinema Project Emerging Japanese Films as the cornerstone of its Japan Overseas Expansion Enhancement Project. Visual Industry Promotion Organization (VIPO) serves as the steward for the encore of this distinguished screening series.
