Named after Yasujiro Ozu’s custom-made, tatami-level, crab-like tripod, Kani is a new home video label dedicated to leveling the gaze and furthering the understanding of Asian cinema in North America. Focused on genre-defying films, Kani aims to expand the canon, bolster up-and-coming filmmakers and reintroduce repertory classics in context. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!

24-year-old Yoshika (Mayu Matsuoka, SHOPLIFTERS) works in the accounting department of a large corporation. Socially awkward and somewhat of an outcast, she enjoys conversations with random strangers and civil servants, staying up late to look up extinct animals on Wikipedia, and daydreaming about “Ichi” (the “One”) – a high school classmate who remains to this day, her one and only love. That is, until “Ni” (“Two”), a clumsy colleague, bursts her fabulous bubble.

Adapted from Risa Wataya’s beloved novel, and winner of the Audience Award at the 2017 Tokyo International Film Festival, Akiko Ohku’s TREMBLE ALL YOU WANT is a magnificent subversion of the romantic comedy. Ohku – one of Japan’s foremost directors working in the genre – crafts a remarkable character-driven film, unafraid to blend comedy and tragedy (and dash of the musical!) to best explore issues of mental health as pertaining to the heart; playing skillfully and poignantly with notions of loneliness, bias, perspective, mood, and the occasional, self-damaging delusion.

Delicate Angst

"Kani’s Tremble All You Want is a quietly charming exploration of youthful anxiety, unrequited love, and personal growth. The film balances humor and vulnerability, creating characters who feel painfully real in their awkwardness and longing. Its gentle pacing and intimate framing allow viewers to live in the protagonist’s perspective, making every small triumph and embarrassment resonate. This release presents the film with care, letting its understated performances and nuanced storytelling shine. It is a tender, relatable portrait of coming-of-age in all its messy, awkward glory."

— Antonio T. (4/5)
