Jimami Tofu (2017)
Romantic, dramatic, restrained and poetic
So hard to put into words what this film made me feel. It started as a simple love story but grew into so much more tying in family, culture, history in such an effortless way. It's multilayered and deftly executed. I could see how many people might miss so much in this film. The great thing is the filmmakers never drew attention to themselves - there was no sense of ego with their style of storytelling. It was incredibly zen like the Japan they portray. Wonderful that they managed to create a world within Okinawa, Japan but in English. Not one person in the audience questioned it.
Music was huge part of this film too. Composed by one of the filmmakers and the lead actor. Beautifully interwoven tunes. A must must watch!
Perfect Girl (2014)
Perfect hour spent
If you have an hour to spare you won't go wrong with this little gem. Nicely paced, sharply acted and edited. Have recommended to quite a few friends. Really worth the time. Haven't been so engrossed in a couple of characters fo a long time. Happy to have stumbled on this short drama. Worth every minute.
