The Melbourne Cinémathèque & ACMI present
Like Nothing Happened
When
Wed 15 Apr 2026
This program brings together two medium-length works from Hamaguchi’s early career. His second film was shot on 8mm while the director was still a student at the University of Tokyo. Structured around a series of unhurried conversations between five young friends – one of which is played by Hamaguchi himself – it already contains many of the themes and formal elements that would come to define his cinema.
Followed by the TV project I Love Thee For Good Ryusuke Hamaguchi (2009) 58 mins – Unclassified 15+. A young couple’s impending marriage is threatened by the bride’s secret.
