(Soredemo Boku wa Yattenai)
A young man, Kaneko Teppei (Ryo Kase) is arrested for allegedly groping a woman on a train, and forced to sign a statement not in his own words. Suddenly thrust into the Japanese legal system he must choose whether to settle the matter out of court, or to fight the charges.
Following the young Teppei through his experience with Japanese justice, this intricately crafted, earnest drama is another triumph for director Masayuki Suo (director of the successful Shall We Dance), with this film going on to receive numerous prizes, notably several Japanese Academy Awards, and both Best Director and Best Screenplay at the Kinema Junpo Awards in 2008.
