Product Description

Director Ishii Yuya ( Mitsuko Delivers, Sawako Decides) pays tribute to the unsung heroes of the dictionary world in The Great Passage. Based on the best-selling novel by Miura Shiwon, this gentle comedy follows a group of dictionary editors & their decade-long effort to create the ultimate "e;living dictionary."e; Matsuda Ryuhei ( Nana) gives a hilariously droll performance as Majime, the stone-faced newcomer who discovers his true calling in dictionary editing, while Odagiri Joe steals the show as Majimes charming co-worker. Japans representative at the 2013 Academy Awards Best Foreign Film race, The Great Passage is an inspiring dramedy dedicated to wordsmiths everywhere.

When the longtime editor at The Dictionary Editorial Department of Genbu Books resigns, he goes on a search for a word-obsessed replacement that can continue his work. By chance, they stumble upon Majime (Matsuda Ryuhei), an introverted salesperson with zero talent in sales & a passion for words. Majimes first project is The Great Passage, a new venture to create the ultimate "e;living dictionary"e; for the modern world. The idea of spending over a decade on a dictionary seems daunting to Majime, co-worker Masashi (Odagiri Joe) & the rest of the team at first, but their dedication to the project carries them through various obstacles. However, when Kaguya (Miyazaki Aoi), the granddaughter of Majimes landlady, moves into their building, Majime discovers a problem that words cant solve: love.
