The First Slam Dunk porta al cinema Takehiko Inoue!

The First Slam Dunk takes the viewer onto the pitch, right into the match, where point guard Ryota Miyagi and the rest of the Shohoku team – made up of Hanamichi Sakuragi, Kaede Rukawa, Takenori Akagi and Hisashi Mitsui – are about to bring to life one of the most exciting matches ever seen on the big screen, but also back in time, thanks to unpublished flashbacks that reveal some of the most significant memories of Ryota’s past – never told by Inoue to date. As the director himself underlined:

The characters continued to live in me even after the series ended. […] Also, as I myself have changed since the manga serialization, there are perspectives that I wanted to describe but wasn’t able to fully illustrate at the time, and perspectives that weren’t visible to me at the time. I hope you enjoy this as a new Slam Dunk, even if it’s a Slam Dunk with new elements.
