Synopsis

A startling reflection on cruelty

Takumi and his daughter Hana live in Mizubiki village, close to Tokyo. Like their elders before them, they have a modest life in harmony with their environment. The ecological balance of the site is threaten by the plans to build a ‘glamorous camping site’ in the nearby nature park, offering city dwellers a comfortable escape to nature. It profoundly affects the lives of Takumi and the village inhabitants.

Completely tuned to the rhythm of nature, Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s new film does not obey the laws of capitalism that it denounces. The duality of the early part of the story gives room to a more nuanced exploration of everyone’s aspirations, and to an absolute climatic urgency.

Kritiken

« On est abasourdi par ces images où l’émotion surgit d’un simple travelling en voiture, d’un simple panoramique en forêt. Autant d’idées formelles qui transcrivent la sérénité du lieu, auquel on s’attache instantanément – au point qu’il en devienne un personnage à part entière. »
