Das Meer war ruhig: Directed by Takeshi Kitano. With Claude Maki, Hiroko Ôshima, Sabu Kawahara, Toshizo Fujiwara. The lives of a young, hearing-impaired and gloomy couple are fulfilled after the boy holds interest in surfboarding.

“I watched a scene at the sea last night, I was feeling really tired but it actually helped to watch the film in a drowsy state, it is a really simple story and the way kitano tells the story is even more simple, I just canu0026#39;t get over kitano, heu0026#39;s a really incredible film aker, Iu0026#39;ve only scene this and u0026quot;hanabiu0026quot; and u0026quot;brotheru0026quot;, but they all deict a similarly strange world. I like the fact that the camera barely ever moves instead relying on really beautiful long shots that look, in a lot of cases, like paintings. Iu0026#39;m going to make it my mission to see all 11(?) of the films he has directed. Kitano really is just one of those people who can make you forget your watching a movie, the way it all unfolds just feels like something else The acting was reserved but completely convincing, especially between the two main characters, the fact that you could get such a strong sense of character from two people who never speak is really amazing. My appreciation for kitano grows with every film I watch, seek these films out, theyu0026#39;re worth it.”
