A movie to soak in
My current thirst for the profoundly mundane, the every-human story, is being satisfied by Hirokazu Kore-eda, a Japanese director who won their best film award in 2015, 2017 and 2019.‘Shoplifters’ was excellent, gave him world renown and more awards, including best at Cannes.
‘Truth’, set in France, was more basic; about an actress wanting her mom’s approval, the two sets their house and a studio.
That prepared me for the third, ‘Distance’, which was slow, seemingly meandering, threadbare and 19 years old. The younger director never rammed home a lesson, instead let me absorb it like a raw bean does with water overnight.
Although the least of the three, it was meaningfully worth it.
Family and friends try to come to terms with the aftermath of a terrible tragedy
Distance Three years after an apocalyptic cult released a biological weapon that killed hundreds and wounded thousands four relatives of people killed in the attack attempt to come to terms with what happened. While the nation mourns the deaths of the victims these four try to come to terms with the deaths of some of the cult members. Stranded in the woods where the cult had lived and where their relatives ashes were scattered, after their car is stolen they are forced to spend the night with one of the few survivors of the cult. There is much talk and reflection as the quartet attempt to find out what drove their loved ones to take part in such a terrible act. This is a film that will enthrall some and drive others to pull their hair out as conversations seem to trail off and people seem to speak haltingly. We catch glimpses of the past in flashback as each person reflects on when their loved ones were still alive and we see the events filtered with the knowledge of what came after. Things are not always spelled out and its not always clear who is who or what is going on. It’s a film you have to work with. Personally I’m not sure what I make of this film. I like the realness of it, but there are times when I feel as though it’s more than a bit contrived, never to the point of being bad, but just so its slightly disappointing (that something that gets so much right can be so lumpy at times) Still it makes you feel and makes you think about things more than most films these days. Worth seeing, especially if you’re interested in seeing a film that deals with subjects that are pressing in today’s world.
