Featured review
One or two notes stall a little, but as a whole this is an important, beautiful film.
A Bangladeshi photographer lives with a Japanese singer he met in Paris after a terrorist attack. They live and work in Tokyo facing many of the same struggles and prejudices that are familiar all around the world.
This one is really special. I don't recall a film that shows non- white, non-Japanese characters not only speaking Japanese but trying to live life in Japan. It's a fully developed story. While it is explicitly political, it's the kind of politics that I can get down with. Calling for compassion and understanding in a diverse world is never wrong. It's not propaganda. There is also a great love story with beautiful poetic moments among the rough ones. One or two notes stall a little, but as a whole this is an important, beautiful film that I would be proud to give my highest recommendation.
