Maboroshi – Licht der Illusion (1995)

Maboroshi – Licht der Illusion: Directed by Hirokazu Koreeda. With Makiko Esumi, Takashi Naitô, Tadanobu Asano, Gohki Kashiyama. A young woman’s husband apparently commits suicide without warning or reason, leaving behind his wife and infant.

“And beautiful and fascinating film with a gentle lyric quality. Runs directly counter to the usual Hollywood expectations. The most emotionally packed scene is filmed in extreme longshot! You canu0026#39;t even see the faces of the actors but the location and the action that you can see are enough. If you want to see a standard hollywood formula, then stay away. If you like quiet and moving films shot in entirely new ways (granted the director owes much to Ozu) then get this film.”
