Moving(OHIKKOSHI)

  • Dir: Somai Shinji

  • Japan, 1993, Japanese, 125mins, DCP

  • Cast: Nakai Kiichi, Sakurada Junko, Tabata Tomoko

Caught up in her parents’ wreck of a divorce, the young and sensitive Renko refuses to accept the burst of her happy family illusion, and tries hard to bring about a reconciliation through a trip to Lake Biwa where they once vacationed. The dysfunctional family drama morphs into a dreamlike revelation, as she emerges from the loneliness of a dark forest and the memory of the lake to realise that she has to say farewell to her past self. Evoking the magic spirit of Kyoto summer festivals, Somai’s long, fluid takes transform an awakening to adulthood to a mystic rebirth, portraying a poignant and lyrical rendering of the toll and promise of moving on.
