"Minamata", a drama starring Johnny Depp and set in Japan, will be released on February 5th, 2021. The film will be in theaters (if open) and available on PVOD. Depp plays a photojournalist sent to Japan. There, he covers a mercury spill that has been poisoning residents of a small coastal village for decades. "Minamata" should appeal to viewers who appreciated the Todd Hayne's film "Dark Waters"; both are based on actual events. Minamata Official Trailer
