Review by
Director: Naomi Kawase
Synopsis
The movie was filmed by Naomi herself in and around Asuka, avillage near Nara which was the birthplace of Japan. Apparently it was here, that in ancient times, some people fulfilled their lives by ‘waiting’. Modern people have forgotten this sensibility and are under the illusion that everything will move forward as and when they wish and plan.
Die fliek is verfilm deur Naomi haarself in en rondom Asuka, avillage naby die Nara wat was die geboorteplek van Japan. Blykbaar is dit was hier, wat in antieke tye, sommige mense aan hulle lewens deur ‘wag’. Moderne mense het vergeet hierdie sensibiliteit en is onder die illusie dat alles vorentoe sal beweeg en wanneer hulle wil en beplan.
Our Verdict:
Whimsical and worth watching, if you can succumb to the feeling of waiting and not be rushing to finish the movie.
Grappig en die moeite werd om te kyk, as jy nie kan swig voor die gevoel van die wag en nie word die gedruis van die film te voltooi.
