For our 18th session, and in light of Valentine's Day, JCC will be screening "My Darling is a Foreigner", a Japanese film based on the popular manga series "Darling was Gaikokujin" written by Saori Oguri. Following the movie screening, there will be a special session where we will have guest speakers talk about their own marriage life with a foreigner.

Synopsis of Film

Director: Kazuaki Ue
Cast: Mao Inoue and Jonathan Sherr

2010 / 100min / Color / English Subtitle

"My Darling is a Foreigner" tells the quirky story of a Japanese woman and an American man as they enter into a relationship and eventually marry. Saori (Mao Inoue) is a manga artist. She meets language geek Tony (Jonathan Sherr), who has arrived in Japan after falling in love with the language. As the couple become closer, Saori is inundated with strange questions about the language from Tony. Are these weird questions a trait of his foreign background? Or is it because of his linguist preoccupation? More importantly, can their relationship survive?
