(VOVWORLD) - Come and Go, the Japanese film starring Vietnamese actor Liên Bỉnh Phát, will be screened in theatres across Japan tomorrow.
In the film, Phát plays Nam, a technical intern from Việt Nam who is caught up in a murder case.
Come and Go is the first international film that Phat has participated in, in which he has the opportunity to work with the Japanese film crew, especially director Lim Kah Wai.
The 30-year-old actor went to Japan in April 2019 and stayed for a week to act in Come and Go.
In his first time acting in a foreign film, Phát said that he was both excited and nervous. In Come and Go, he spoke both Japanese and Vietnamese. In order to prepare for his scenes, the actor spent many days learning and practising the language.
Born in 1990 in the southern province of Kiên Giang, Phát won the Gemstone Award for newcomers at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2018 and was honoured as "New Asian Star" at the Asian Stars Up Next Award a year later.
Set in Osaka during cherry blossom season, Come and Go begins when people discover the body of an old woman in an old apartment and follows a detective as he investigates the murder.
