All of a Sudden

All of a Sudden (2026) — a co-production across Belgium, Germany, France, and Japan — is available to watch online on iFILM. Directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi, it stars Virginie Efira and Tao Okamoto and runs three hours and sixteen minutes.

Marie-Lou Fontaine manages a nursing home on the outskirts of Paris, implementing the Humanitude method — a care approach built around sustained eye contact, touch, and speech — over her team's resistance. The woman who arrives terminally ill is Mari Morisaki, a Japanese playwright who happens to share her given name. What grows between them Hamaguchi unfolds through pauses, unfinished sentences, and scenes that refuse to close before they're ready.

Drive My Car landed Hamaguchi the Oscar for Best International Feature in 2022 — the film that turned the whole world's attention to his particular tempo. All of a Sudden arrives with the same patience and the same pressure on language, the same refusal to look away from what people can't say aloud. Watch All of a Sudden (2026) online on iFILM.
