TOKYO -- Andrew Haigh's 2023 film "All of Us Strangers" has been widely acclaimed by U.K. and U.S.-based audiences, winning seven awards at the British Independent Film Awards and best screenplay at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association awards, both in December. But its release in Japanese cinemas in April has particular significance: Haigh's screenplay is based on "Strangers," a 1987 novel by the late screenwriter and author Taichi Yamada, who died in December.
