MUBI's video: Family Romance LLC In Conversation with Werner Herzog MUBI

Werner Herzog's FAMILY ROMANCE, LLC is exclusively on MUBI: https://mubi.com/herzog FAMILY ROMANCE, LLC is the latest feature from Herzog (AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD; CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS). Receiving its premiere at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, the film tells the story of a Tokyo-based company that offers the perfect stand-ins for absent family members, friends or admirers – available to rent for any occasion. In a fictionalized take on this real-life company, Herzog follows founder Yuichi Ishii as he helps his clients make their dreams come true. But when the mother of 12-year-old Mahiro hires Ishii to impersonate her missing ex-husband, the line between performance and reality threatens to blur. Shot by Herzog himself, the film blends fiction storytelling with documentary-style visuals for a striking meditation on truth and artifice in the age of loneliness. 30 Days of Great Cinema Free: https://mubi.com/youtube Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://mubi.io/2XVL0VN Follow us on Instagram: http://mubi.tv/299eJ7G Follow us on Twitter: http://mubi.tv/1PcdRyO Follow us on Facebook: http://mubi.tv/29adiHj
