Exclusive In-Person Member Screening—Kokuho and Post-Screening Q&A + Reception

LACMA members are invited to join FILM at LACMA for a special screening of Kokuho, followed by a reception and Q&A with director Sang-il Lee and actor Ryo Yoshizawa.

Nagasaki, 1964. When his father is killed, young Kikuo is taken in by a famous Kabuki actor and devotes himself to the traditional art, alongside the man's only son. Across 50 years, the two share brotherhood and rivalry, scandal, and glory, but only one will become the greatest living Kabuki master.

From acclaimed director Sang-il Lee (Pachinko), Kokuho (meaning "national treasure") is a film of aw-inspiring scope and sumptuous beauty, and a monument to the artists who would sacrifice everything in the pursuit of the ultimate performance.

Kokuho is nominated for Best International Feature at the 2025 Academy Awards®

This in-person screening will take place at an off-site theater. Location details will be shared in the email invitation. Capacity is limited and reservations are required.
