Rohan au Louvre (岸辺露伴 ルーヴルへ行く, Kishibe Rohan Rūvuru e Iku, lit. Rohan Kishibe Goes to the Louvre) is a live-action movie adaptation of the one-shot Rohan au Louvre, based on the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan TV drama series by NHK. The English version of the film is titled Rohan at the Louvre.

It was officially announced on January 4, 2023 and released in Japanese theaters on May 26, 2023.[1] According to Issey Takahashi, the movie functions as the ninth episode of the TV drama.[1]

The film released digitally worldwide exclusively on Amazon Prime Video on September 22, 2023. It will also be airing in Toronto, Canada at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre on October 5, 2023.[2]

Summary

Rohan Kishibe, a manga artist with a special ability, once heard a rumor in his youth about a Black Painting from a woman he had a crush on. It was not only the blackest, but the most evil painting in the world.

Time passes, and in the process of writing a new work, Rohan learns that the painting is held at the Louvre Museum. He thus visits France for a viewing, and for a faint yearning he once had. However, strangely enough, even the museum staff was unaware of the existence of the Black Painting, and its storage location in the database was Warehouse Z-13, an underground warehouse that should have been empty.

There, Rohan comes face-to-face with the horrifying events caused by the Black Painting...

Production

Filming ended in Japan in Fall 2022 and continued in Paris, France. The film was shot on location at the Louvre Museum, the Pont des Arts, the Champs-Elysées, the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile, the Pont Alexandre III Bridge, and the Place du Carrousel. It is unusual for a film to be permitted to be shot at the Louvre, and this is the second Japanese film to be shot there since All-Round Appraiser Q: The Eyes of Mona Lisa, which was released in 2014.[1] Other filming locations include Hôtel Lutetia, a café situated on the Île Saint-Louis; the Jardins du Trocadéro in Paris; the town of Aizuwakamatsu in Fukushima Prefecture; and the Hotel New Grand in Yokohama. Rohan's Grandmother's ryokan at which Rohan meets Nanase is the Mukaitaki ryokan in the town of Aizuwakamatsu.[5]

The soundtrack was composed by Naruyoshi Kikuchi. Kikuchi specifies that the staff for the recording of the soundtrack has been tripled compared to the TV Drama. The main theme has been reworked, with claves being added to the original music for instance. Percussion instruments were favored for the production of the soundtrack, including Javanese and Balinese gamelans, but instruments such as the shamisen were also used.[6]

Kento Nagao personally drew some of the sketches seen on the young Rohan's sketchbook.[7]

The Japanese painter Fukui Ouka, who specializes in western-style oil paintings, has created several works for the film.[8]

Reception

During the first weekend of its release, the movie generated ¥314,736,080 in revenues.[9] After a month, the movie generated ¥1,000,000,000 in revenues with an estimated minimum of 720,000 viewers.[10][11]

Manga/Film Differences

  • Removed Rohan mentioning the meaning of the kanji in his name.
  • Removed Rohan's narration to the readers in the beginning, instead adding a scene of Rohan dreaming about Nanase.
  • Added a scene of Rohan seeing a black spider in his room after the dream.
  • Added a scene of Rohan visiting an antique shop to research about the clerks who were selling counterfeits. Rohan sees a catalog of an auction with a painting drawn entirely in black.
  • Replaced Josuke Higashikata, Okuyasu Nijimura, and Koichi Hirose with Kyoka Izumi. Kyoka says Rohan looks like the Mona Lisa rather than Okuyasu.
  • Added a scene of Rohan and Kyoka at a hotel before participating in the auction for the painting.
  • Nizaemon Yamamura's painting is not named "Under the Moon" in the film and is only referred to as the "Black Painting".
  • Added a painter called Maurice Legrand who saw Nizaemon's Black Painting and painted his own imitation called "Noire".
  • Added an auction scene where Rohan and Kyoka compete against Watabe and Kawai, winning the painting in the end.
  • Added Rohan's house being messy because he was researching various ancient pigments, wanting to use them for his manga.
  • Added Watabe and Kawai attempting to steal Noire from Rohan's house.
  • Added Rohan's grandmother getting rid of and selling most of her possessions, as if she was preparing for her death.
  • Changed Nanase's appearance at the inn. Rohan's grandmother seemingly does not know that she exists, implying that only Rohan saw her ghost. Removed the conversation where his grandma tells him about her and added a scene where Rohan asks about her but she doesn't know.
  • Removed the story of Nanase getting divorced soon. Her "Fujikura" last name is not mentioned.
  • Changed the location of the Black Painting. Instead of a landowner from Nanase's hometown finding it in his barn and then selling it to a curator in the Louvre, it is in Rohan's grandmother's storehouse. However, Nanase's ghost mentions to Rohan that it is in the Louvre before it gets there.
  • Removed Nanase getting a phone call when kicking Rohan out of her room. They see a black spider instead when Nanase tells him to leave.
  • Removed Rohan seeing Nanase run away from the inn while presumably talking to her "husband" on the phone. Instead, he hears her footsteps leaving.
  • Added an antique dealer named Yoshio Kawatori, who was killed by the Black Painting when he was supposed to arrange the storehouse of Rohan's grandmother.
  • Added Rohan's grandmother listening to the radio with Kai Harada on the news.
  • Replaced the Louvre Curator who retrieved the Black Painting with Gaucher. Gaucher was killed at that time after transporting the painting to the Louvre.
  • Added Kyoka traveling to France with Rohan, where she takes lots of photos to make a travelogue for Rohan.
  • Added a surname for Gaucher (Bigotte), a first name for Noguchi (Emma), and full names for the firefighters (Nicolas Thomas and Hugo Renard).
  • Added a scene with Emma before she meets with Rohan. She is absent-minded at work due to Pierre's death.
  • Added Jacques Blanc as Emma's boss and Marie as her coworker. Jacques reminds her of her meeting with Rohan.
  • Replaced Gaucher's manga role with Ryunosuke Tatsumi as the curator who goes to Z-13 with Rohan and the others.
  • Added a scene of Jacques witnessing the Black Painting and jumping off the second floor railing.
  • Added Kyoka going to Z-13 with Rohan.
  • Changed the firefighters to be criminals working in a theft group with Watabe, Kawai, and Maurice Legrand. Ryunosuke Tatsumi is their leader.
  • Changed Z-13's door lock being stuck to opening easily with the keys of the firefighters.
  • Added a scene of Nicolas knocking off a painting from the wall, which was an unpublished painting from Johannes Vermeer. This makes Rohan and Emma suspicious since it should have been sent to the Louvre's newly constructed storage center already.
  • Added an argument between Rohan and Tatsumi after Rohan correctly theorizes about their theft group.
  • Changed the order of the firefighters' deaths. Nicolas is killed first by a soldier rather than Hugo's sudden death.
  • Added Hugo becoming violent and suspecting Rohan and the others after Nicolas dies.
  • Added Tatsumi being strangled by an illusion of Maurice's ghost unlike how Gaucher was killed by a car.
  • Changed Emma being killed by drowning. She starts drowning, but Rohan saves her by putting his coat on top of her so she can no longer see the painting and then has Kyoka escort her out of the building.
  • Added Hugo lighting himself on fire due to his grandfather's actions in the past.
  • Removed Rohan seeing the illusion of his grandmother and grandfather's ghosts.
  • Changed the samurai that Rohan uses Heaven's Door on to be Nizaemon instead. Nizaemon attacks Rohan with his axe.
  • Changed Nanase saying "Forgive me" to her telling him "Forget everything".
  • Removed the painting having a thorough scientific examination before being burned. It's implied that it burned due to the fire from Hugo's lighter.
  • Added Kyoka consoling Emma and showing the photo of her father in front of the Louvre Pyramid, who passed away when Kyoka was young.
  • Added the paramedics claiming that they hallucinated because of the gas accumulation in the warehouse.
  • Added Kyoka and Rohan discussing the incident at a café, where Rohan is shocked that Kyoka did not see any hallucinations from the painting.
  • Expanded on Nizaemon and Nanase's backstory. The Yamamura family served as official painters but Nizaemon was disowned after his marriage with Nanase for painting in other styles for commoners. They moved to a corner in the temple where Nizaemon would sell his paintings to merchants.
  • Changed Nizaemon being the only one to be aware of the black pigment's existence. Nanase discovers it first until Nizaemon follows her.
  • Added Nizaemon having a brother named Samanosuke Yamamura, who reports him to the magistrate's office for collecting the black sap.
  • Changed Nizaemon being executed for chopping down the tree. He is punished for merely touching it. Added Nanase attempting to stop the officials but they attack her.
  • Added Nizaemon murdering the officials with an axe before chopping down the tree.
  • Added Nizaemon dying alongside Nanase after his final painting.
  • Added Rohan reading the ghost of Nanase's memories with Heaven's Door before she says her final goodbyes.
  • Added Kyoka visiting Rohan's house back in Japan. He decides not to draw with the ancient pigments anymore. Rohan's next story is a full-color manuscript of Pink Dark Boy inspired by what he saw at the Louvre. Kyoka titles the travelogue as "Rohan Kishibe Goes to the Louvre".
