Nomoto\u0026#39;s warmth turns into an unsettling discomfort for Ryunosuke, an Olympic archery candidate who seals his guilt. As Takumi seeks forgiveness from former residents, he becomes intoxicated with his own tragic figure, prostrating before a mirror. The trailer escalates to Ryunosuke\u0026#39;s explosive scream, Takumi\u0026#39;s mad smile, and Nomoto\u0026#39;s sudden freezing expression.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCast comments accompany the footage. Isomura, who trained in archery for a year, called the script \u0026#39;an experiment.\u0026#39; Masaki, starring in a film for the first time as an individual, admitted initial trouble building Takumi.

The film's unease comes from that inversion.","threadsPost":"Yoshida Keisuke's mentor pairs Isomura and Masaki as men changed by a fire, but the trailer's real voltage is Ayano Go. He plays Nomoto, the victim, yet every cut frames him as the source of the madness. The film may be about how trauma rewires who we call the threat.","newsletterBlurb":"The main trailer for 'mentor' is out, showing Isomura Yuto and Masaki Akira as two men changed by a fire, with Ayano Go as a victim whose kindness turns unsettling.
