Japan, the Beautiful or Ambiguous, and Ourselves
0.0/10
Overview
The name of this film refers to the lectures of two Japanese writers Yasunari Kawabata and Kenzaburō Ōe. In their Nobel prize speeches, directed at the Western audience, they meditate on the Japanese identity and how it correlates with their oeuvre. Tomotosi plays up this classic heritage. The artist delicately intervenes in city rituals via six performances and records his fellow citizens' reactions. In this way, he dissects daily life and the unwritten rules of social interaction in Japan.
