Ironically, the lighthouse itself is also dark and presents a twisted yet entertaining view in which people tend to lose touch with reality, similar to the film starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson.

The main characters have been close friends since 2011. Through their conversation, they will share their life stories, allowing us to get to know them better and realize that life, whether in Tokyo or any other part of the world, is not as easy as it may seem. The only thing that truly saves us, and we can all agree on this, is a sense of humor.

This unique talk-show also serves as an opportunity to explore and learn more about the wonderful country of Japan, its customs, and its distinct sense of humor.

You can enjoy this one-of-a-kind program on Netflix starting from August 22nd.

We hope you enjoy it.

“Notre phare dans la nuit” (2023) – Un nouveau concept pour une nouvelle émission de télévision sur Netflix

Lighthouse

Veronica Loop 22 August 2023, 3:48 am

“Notre phare dans la nuit” est une série japonaise sur Netflix. Elle est interprétée par Gen Hoshino, musicien et acteur, et Masayasu Wakabayashi, un comédien populaire. Le programme les présentera en train d’avoir des conversations informelles sur leur travail, leur famille et leurs espoirs pour l’avenir.

Un mélange de talk-show, de télé-réalité et de documentaire qui réunit deux personnes qui, tout simplement, parleront pendant six mois. Le programme s’appellera “Lighthouse ()” et a pour objectif, selon le producteur, d’éclairer toutes les personnes qui traversent des moments difficiles à travers les expériences et les vécus de ces deux comédiens.

Ironiquement, le phare est également sombre et offre une vision perverse mais amusante dans laquelle, comme dans le film avec Willem Dafoe et Robert Pattinson, les gens ont tendance à perdre la notion de la réalité.

Les protagonistes se sont rencontrés en 2011 et sont de grands amis. Ensemble, ils nous raconteront leur vie dans une conversation qui nous permettra de mieux les connaître et de voir que la vie, à Tokyo ou n’importe où dans le monde, n’est pas aussi facile qu’on nous l’avait dit, et que la seule chose qui nous sauve est, nous sommes tous d’accord là-dessus, le sens de l’humour.

Un talk-show différent qui sert également à découvrir un peu plus ce merveilleux pays qu’est le Japon, ses coutumes et ce sens de l’humour si particulier.

Une émission différente que vous pourrez apprécier sur Netflix à partir du 22 août.

Profitez-en bien.
