Midsummer's Equation (2013)

Original title: 真夏の方程式

Midsummer's Equation is a 2013 Japanese-language crime movie directed by Hiroshi Nishitani, with a running time of 2h 9m. It stars Masaharu Fukuyama, Yuriko Yoshitaka and Kazuki Kitamura.

Masaharu Fukuyama reprises his role from 2008's "Suspect X," playing the physicist-cum-detective Manabu Yukawa. The scientist-sleuth arrives in an oceanside town to speak on a panel. But when a man turns up dead outside the inn where he's staying, Yukawa begins to unravel the connections that tie the victim to the activist daughter of the innkeepers, and a precocious boy who first appears on a train, and keeps popping up. It's a Sherlock Holmes mystery with an environmental twist, and one that should please fans of a classic whodunnit.
