Murakami was ultimately so pleased he let Yamakawa adapt a second short story, "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning", into A GIRL SHE IS 100% the following year (3/3) #BFIJapan

[Matchbox Cine @MatchboxCine]

Yamakawa came across Murakami's short story "Bakery Attack" in the literary magazine of Waseda University, which they both attended several years apart. Yamakawa sought permission and, though privately reluctant, Murakami granted it for ATTACK ON A BAKERY (1982) (2/3)

If you watched DRIVE MY CAR this weekend, you might be interested in two rare Haruki Murakami adaptations that we're screening online from Friday, alongside Naoto Yamakawa's THE NEW MORNING OF BILLY THE KID... (1/3)
