Recipient of the 2023 Venice Film Festival’s Silver Lion Grand Jury prize, this mesmerizing long-take drama from Oscar-winner Ryûsuke Hamaguchi ("Drive My Car") centers on a father and daughter whose quiet life in a forested region of Japan is threated by a proposed tourist attraction.
“Deep in the forest of the small rural village Harasawa, single parent Takumi lives with his young daughter, Hana, and takes care of odd jobs for locals, chopping wood and hauling pristine well water. The overpowering serenity of this untouched land of mountains and lakes, where deer peacefully roam free, is about to be disrupted by the imminent arrival of the Tokyo company Playmode, which is ready to start construction on a glamping site for city tourists—a plan, which Takumi and his neighbors discover, that will have dire consequences for the ecological health and cleanliness of their community. The potent and foreboding new film from Oscar-winning director Ryûsuke Hamaguchi ('Drive My Car,' 'Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy') is a haunting, entirely unexpected cinematic experience that reconstitutes the boundaries of the ecopolitical thriller. Intensified by a rapturous, ominous score by Eiko Ishibashi, this mesmeric journey diverges from country-vs-city themes to straddle the line between the earthy and the metaphysical.” -New York Film Festival
