Movies across time and space

Barefoot Gen | 1983 | Mori Masaki | Japan

As dramatic as Grave of the Fireflies but more brutal in its depiction of the horrors of war, I highly recommend to watch this powerful gem. 

Maison Ikkoku, episode 27: “Soichiro Gone!? Yakitori Memories”, 1986.

These long contemplatives moments of Maison Ikkoku always fascinated me. In the tradition of the great master Yasujirō Ozu, the time is suspended. No movement. No sound. Just the wind on someone’s hair or the hoot of a train in the distance.

Interstella 5555 | 2003 | Kazuhisa Takenouchi | Japan/France
