"We are thrilled to continue to support U.S. service members with the NASCAR Salutes program and to continue our partnership with defending Coca-Cola 600 champion Austin Dillon."
  Last May, Dillon raced his way to victory during the Coca-Cola 600, recording his first-career Cup Series victory and putting the legendary No. 3 car in Victory Lane for the first time in 17 years. Dillon is a two-time NASCAR champion and won the 2018 Daytona 500 earlier this season.
  
  The World of Kanako is as pitch black as Japanese «pop-art-films» come. But fans of Tetsuya Nakashima probably have a fetish for sensory overloads and gore anyway. As expected, he delivers visual madness, but it all feels less inspired and authentic than his earlier films.
  That being said, The World of Kanako is a wild ride that will shock those who are unfamiliar with directors such as Sion Sono, Shinya Tsukamoto or Nakashima. Likewise, it will satisfy the fans of those same directors, even though this film does not offer much more than… more of everything.
  The World of Kanako is a thriller from 2014 starring Kôji Yakusho (Cure, The Eel, Eureka) and Nana Komatsu (After the Rain). It was directed by Tetsuya Nakashima, and was based on a novel called «Hateshinaki Kawaki» (Endless Thirst) by Akio Fukamachi.
  Tetsuya Nakashima gained a cult following overseas when he made the films Kamikaze Girls (2004) and Memories of Matsuko (2006). Both films were so-called quirky comedies that showcased an eclectic mix of art house cinema, Japanese pop culture and Harajuku fashion.
  Nakashima changed gears in 2010, however, when he released the dark and gruesome Confessions. His eye for unique cinematography still made for a visually striking experience, but the lighthearted silliness of his previous films was nowhere to be found. Instead, he delivered a bleak and crushingly depressive study of the human condition.
