The Embassy of Japan in Luxembourg, co-organising with Kizuna asbl, is proud to present a movie showing of "Thermae Romae"(2012)! A time-slip comedy exploring the bathing world between ancient Rome and modern Japan, transcending space and time with this fantastic and epic adventure! Based on YAMAZAKI Mari 's world-renowned blockbuster manga, winner of both the Manga Taish? 2010 and the 14th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize Short Story Award! Lucius (ABE Hiroshi) is a bath architect from ancient Rome who keeps slipping between the baths of ancient Rome and modern Japan, uniquely brought to life through the contrast in cultures, groundbreaking ideas, and unexpected discoveries. His wit and humor also reveal the origins of Japanese and ancient Roman bathing. Witness this epic, fantastical comedy, with both time-travelling humour and a touching love story! The Embassy is proud to show this film in Luxembourg for the first time, and to introduce Japanese bath culture with the familiar local ancient Roman history of baths in the region. The Japanese film was shot in the Italian Cinecittà studios, the largest film studio in Europe, where impressive ancient Roman film sets are used for many famous international productions. The event is co-organised with Kizuna asbl, a new Luxembourgish-Japanese association for the distribution of Japanese culture in Luxembourg. Ticket reservation is mandatory.
