I was reduced to tears several times at this film
I just saw this film at a preview screening last night in Tokyo, and I really loved it. I was reduced to tears several times, and I wasn’t the only one in the audience who was sniffling. The story is not only moving but quite unique: It’s about a black man who has come to Japan after his son dies here, and must take an unusual journey in the countryside as he attempts to make peace with his son’s death and their past conflicts. As someone who has lived in Japan for many years, it’s gratifying to see such a personal film set in this country but from an American director. Although there are some big stars, including Danny Glover, “Harimaya” feels more like a Japanese movie than a Hollywood one in its pacing, character interactions and atmosphere. The film is getting a fairly wide release in Japan, and I think it will provoke a lot of discussion. I encourage everyone to see it, especially those who feel connected with Japan. Itﾕs a beautiful, rewarding work.

A densely layered portrait of the extended human family.
Even without knowing in advance that filmmaker Aaron Woolfolk was heavily inspired by the legendary director Akira Kurosawa, something about his debut feature called to mind films by Kurosawa like Dreams and Rhapsody in August.

It’s nothing on the surface of the screenplay that can be quickly interpreted or discerned. It’s something much more subtle and nuanced that comes through in the very natural pacing of the story and the sensitive development of its characters.

But it also seems to come through in the deeper level of attention that Woolfolk, like his cinematic inspiration, pays to the sumptuous rural settings chosen for this film that reflect the Japan of old through modern eyes, as opposed to the country’s more often seen urban environs.

All this, however, isn’t meant to suggest that Harimaya Bridge, Woolfolk’s first feature, is a flawless masterpiece. It isn’t. But it is a very masterful directorial debut that is often as visually stunning as it is emotionally stirring.

With a fantastic cast that includes Ben Guillory (The Color Purple), Saki Takaoka (Midnight Diner), Misa Shimizu (The Sea is Watching) and the famed Danny Glover (also the film’s producer), The Harimaya Bridge is a densely layered portrait of the extended human family. And it touches on a complex variety of themes, including romantic and familial love, bigotry, loss, sorrow, discovery, tradition, and the unexpected bridges that can lead us to redemption and forgiveness.
