Long, challenging, but well worth the effort
Hailed as a masterpiece by some, and a near one by others, I liked it quite a bit, and never felt bored in spite of it’s nearly 4 hour running time. I was quite moved – to the point of tears – by the end.It looks and feels like no other movie I’ve seen, shot in a shifting sepia tone, with very little dialogue, and long silent takes. It’s an intimate epic. Sort of a Japanese version of a Terrence Malick film.
A young brother and sister, and a bus driver are the only survivors of a random bus-jacking by a madman. The three retreat from the world. But two years later the bus driver seeks out the brother and sister – living alone and mute despite their youth – and the long, slow process of healing begins.
As much as I liked a lot of it, certain plot twists felt clunky or heavy handed, as did some of the dialogue. A movie so based in unspoken emotion loses something when the themes suddenly become too literal, in word or action. But, those are things that might bother me less on a second viewing, when I was more prepared for this unique, odd, challenging film.
utterly, utterly tedious film that has no right being this long
There is an excellent 100-minute film in Eureka, but this monster is an exercise in tedium that will appeal only to a particular niche of film buffs. Other reviewers point out that this is mainly a visual experience, with movie tributes to the likes of Hou Hsiao-Hsien for the anoraks to delight in spotting. But nobody seems able to tell me WHY it is so long. There is one scene where the bus pulls out of a diner’s car park, and drives up the road that extends into the distance, over the hill and out of sight. Fixed camera wide shot, no cuts. It takes 2 minutes 40 seconds – why? We know where the bus is going, and the frame is not particularly interesting to look at. Maybe there is a deeper meaning to such anti-editing statements that I am missing, but it looks like Aoyama just couldn’t be bothered cutting the thing properly. Two stars for the cinematography.
