Still The Water
Saturday 27th February 4:00 PM - Alhambra
Director:Naomi Kawase
Cert:15 Year: 2014 Length:121mins
Country:France/Japan Language:Japanese
Described as a slow burning, very Japanese coming of age drama, Still the Water is a lyrical and moving film set on the sub tropical island of Amami where the land and seascapes provide a compelling backdrop to the story.
Kyoko and Kaito are teenagers with complex relationships with their parents – their own developing relationship is brought into focus by the discovery of a tattooed body washed up on the beach.
Critics
“Still the Water has an idealism and a tranquility. Kawase's distinctive serenity and generosity of spirit remain valuable qualities in the cinema”
