Cape of North (1976) watch online

Cape of the North (Japanese: 北の岬, Hepburn: Kita no misaki), also known as Le Cap du Nord, is a 1976 Japanese drama film directed by Kei Kumai. The film, based on a novel by Kunio Tsuji, deals with the relationship between rich countries and the Third World. In the center of the story, Marie-Therese (Claude Jade), a Swiss religious missionary, meets the Japanese engineer Mitsuo (Go Kato) aboard a ship connecting Marseille to Yokohama. Theirs is a story of impossible love.

When French star Claude Jade arrived to play the role of the nun Marie-Therese, she was accompanied for the second part of shooting by her husband Bernard Coste. For journalists, it was agreed that officially he was the private secretary. Claude Jade said: I had to hide the existence of my husband and that I was pregnant My pregnancy also prevents me from returning to Japan for the first release of the movie! Production is estimated that this condition is incompatible with the role of a nun, especially as the press believes me single.

The film has yet to see an NTSC release, nor one with an English translation.
