Reviews
Pleasant and Modern
I watched this movie with English subtitles at a Japanese Film Festival.I liked very much the movie, as most of the movies by this director.
While it is for sure an rt film, it is good enough to have success to the larger scale of audience.
Very impressive in this movie are the beautiful views: nature with mountains and lake with strips of fog,
but also the small streets in the shopping center in Tokyo, the lovely details of the old public bath,
the authentic small Japanese (but also Ethiopian) restaurants, the lovely portraits of the old men and women.
We feel the delicacy and the love of the film creators towards their subjects.
The story is credible at every moment and I feel it gives a good slice of life. It has the right amount of tragic
and of poetics.
