Beyond Goodbye (2024, Japan)

Director: Hiroshi Kurosaki

Writer: Yoshikazu Okada

Mini-review:

I feel divided about this. On the one hand, the cinematography is really nice and the locations are downright stunning. And the entire cast is great too, especially the leads; these roles play to all of Kentaro Sakaguchi's and Kasumi Arimura's particular strengths. On the other hand, the plot didn't fully convince me. The conceit makes for a very interesting portrayal of grief, but the whole thing was just a bit too... odd for me. It didn't help that I kept feeling bad for the male lead's wife, even if the central relationship isn't exactly a romance, not with the foundation it's built on. So yeah, I can certainly appreciate Beyond Goodbye's aesthetic, acting and directing, but I'm not quite too sure about the rest.

'Perfect Days' – finding serenity in the urban world on Hulu

Perfect Days (Japan, 2023) is as serene and gentle a film as you may ever see, yet it casts a spell in its quiet portrait of a man who has chosen to live a simple existence in the midst of Tokyo. Living in a small, sparsely-furnished apartment, Hirayama (Koji Yakusho) has settled into an easy rhythm of life that begins with a morning can of coffee from the machine outside his home. He listens to…
