Missing is Living With Ghosts
I really enjoyed the movie even though i went to see it without knowing what it was about. its art house - if you find black and white movies, experimental aspects (like e.g. when feelings are actually visualized or personified) and the odd feeling of art movies in general annoying and pretentious, you probably wont like this one.
if you do enjoy art cinema, you might appreciate this movie. i was skeptical, but i like the feeling, you dont notice the black and white visuals consciously, feelings are well transported, and i love the languages used. its a german movie, the protagonist is and speaks german, the movie is set in fukushima, japan, so people around her speak mostly and often exclusively japanese, and the communication the viewer understands is in broken english. it feels real. the protagonist is quite german, in an authentic way.
i loved the movie in the end, i love movies and this is one of my favourites, a tattooed myself a line from the movie.
the friends i have watched it with who are hesitant about artsy movies did enjoy themselves definitely.
