Actor Masami Nagasawa appeared on the red carpet at the 27th Shanghai International Film Festival held in China on June 21st. She attended the closing ceremony and stage greeting. On the red carpet, she wore a long dress with a small floral pattern that had a gradation toward the hem, a long earring with plenty of pearls on her right ear, and a pearl and colored stone earring on her left ear, showing off an elegant look.
During the stage greeting after the screening, she showed off a tight black dress that accentuated her beautiful figure. A slim belt marked her waist and enhanced her figure. A gold-colored rope chain bracelet and a striking ring gave a glamorous finish to her chic black outfit.
The film "Dollhouse" (directed by Shinobu Yaguchi, currently showing), in which Nagasawa plays the lead role, was invited to the festival, and Director Yaguchi and the mysterious doll "Aya-chan" from the film appeared on the red carpet. Nagasawa greeted the audience in Chinese, saying, "Hello everyone! I was looking forward to coming to Shanghai!"
At the ceremony, she served as a presenter of the "Best Actress Award" together with Chinese actress Yong Mei, who won the Best Actress Award at the 69th Berlin International Film Festival. When asked by Yong Mei, "What do you think is the most difficult role to play as an actress?", Nagasawa replied with a smile, "I think it's always difficult to play a role that no one has played before, a role that has not been breathed into life. But I think that happiness awaits me once I overcome that difficulty."
The movie "Dollhouse" depicts the thrilling fun of a cute doll that turns into a family's mercy, and the mystery of the doll's hidden secrets that are gradually revealed. Nagasawa plays the role of Yoshie Suzuki, a housewife who lost her 5-year-old daughter Mei.
