The surprise winner at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, Nobody Knows ' leading man (boy), the 14-year-old actor Yagira Yuuya defeated the likes of Tony Leung, Tom Hanks and Geoffrey Rush to win Best Actor Award, becoming the youngest winner in Cannes history. Since Cannes, Kore-eda Hirokazu's film has been accepted into prestigious film festivals such as Toronto, London and Pusan, as well as receiving critical acclaim in cities where the film has opened commercially. While it might not have an all-star cast, stunning special effects or a huge budget, Nobody Knows proves that all a film needs to succeed is a good story and a production that is taken seriously! Nobody Knows tells of a family in Tokyo where four children live with their mother in a small apartment. All the children have different fathers, never been to school, and three are living in hiding from the landlord. One day, their mother decides to go away to look for her boyfriend, and leaves her eldest son Akira (Yagira Yuya) a note and a little money to take care of his siblings in her temporary absence. But when the mother fails to return, the children are left to survive on their own, thus beginning their survival tale, one that nobody knows. The extraordinary journey this film has embarked on is carefully documented in the bonus material included in this DVD pack. The bonus disc contains trailers, TV spots, a making-of featurette that includes the footage from Cannes, the music video Jewels, an interview with director Koreeda Hirokazu, as well as photographs taken by Koreeda!
