What a beautiful sprawling intro. The music in this is extraordinary. Mesmerized by the direction from the get-go. What cinematography and landscapes. That hill vivisection tracking shot was just *chef’s kiss* 👌🏼
Love the naturalism & realism. And it’s spiritual too! lol
As someone who ruined their eyes, legs, and hands from alcohol, the whole “salt-of-the-Earth” vibe really got to me. 😿 Boy, do I regret having never traveled out of the country! Japan is so intensely beautiful.
The messages are so simple but so overlooked in our society, it makes the film incredibly good, important, and very necessary. One of them being:
WATER IS LIFE ✊
and the obvious:
Capitalism kills
BUT:
We can always do better ❤️
