Director Mamoru Hosoda, the visionary behind acclaimed films like Belle and Mirai, is bringing his latest masterpiece, Scarlet, to Netflix on June 6, 2026.
This fantasy-adventure film, which spent over four years in production, reimagines the themes of Shakespeare's Hamlet through a unique lens.
The story centers on a medieval princess named Scarlet who, after a tragic betrayal by her uncle, finds herself trapped in the surreal Otherworld.
As they interact, Hijiri challenges Scarlet's desire for revenge, leading to a profound exploration of forgiveness and breaking cycles of hatred.
What sets Scarlet apart is its groundbreaking visual style.
