(C)2007 Then Summer Came Film Partners


A humorous wedding story fueled by a rather no-good father and son, disguised as the old and new “good guys.” The father Nobuo, and his son Tamio, are unable to mature, unable to break the parent-child roles, have no sense of responsibility, and keep holding on to the past. The pair is overwhelmed by all the colorful characters around them telling them what to do. They go to strenuous and humorous efforts to make Tamio’s wedding an event to remember.
Ryo Iwamatsu has obtained enormous recognition for his writing and direction, and even as an actor, has his own unique presence. The music production was handled by the jazz punk band, Katteni-Shiyagare, very popular with the younger generation. THEN SUMMER CAME is an ambitious film befitting the director Ryo Iwamatsu, and boasts a splendid cast.
