Kanji Nakajima's ‘The Clone Returns Home’
The Japanese sci-fi film ‘Kurôn wa kokyô o mezasu’ is being translated into English with the title ‘The Clone Returns Home’. The film is both written and directed by Japanese filmmaker Kanji Nakajima. The film first premiered at the Tokyo International Film Festival in October and will be premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January.
The movie is about Kohei, a young astronaut, agrees to participate in an experimental cloning program that will "regenerate" his body and memory should he die. So when he's killed during a space mission, scientists are able to regenerate his clone. But problems occur with its memory, which regresses to Kohei's youth and the accidental death of his twin brother. Distressed, the clone flees the lab in search of his childhood home. Along the way, he finds his own lifeless body in a space suit. Mistaking it for his brother, he continues his journey carrying the body on his back.
