Definitely a masterpiece of a film! It’s been a long time since I’ve been immersed in a story quite like this. Sometimes you don’t need a narrative arc or plot or something like that. Even without too much this was very beautiful, very close, very erotic — but not excessive.
It doesn’t focus too much on plot, but rather on the characters — they are really engaging and youthful — and you really feel the things could really happen. The question isn’t “What is it about?” — it’s not about that, it’s about the characters and how they feel and their expression of love. Love they found in freedom under unfavourable circumstances.
The two of them by themselves, away from everyone else, in the beach, that is so beautiful to see. It’s such pure blissful escapism — and usually people frame it as if it’s a bad thing but I really love it. The scenes in it were so sunny and lovely and naked and free — it’s a band of art and eroticism that you hardly ever find. It’s so difficult to find a film like this. That’s so free in its expression of love like we’re seeing something that could really have happened.
Sometimes it’s alright to set aside deciding whether things are good or bad, and just watch things as they are. Why can’t we enjoy fiction without thinking too much? This is one of those films that got me out of the present, and got me into the past, and made me wish “Wow, I wish I could live in a place like that, in a time like that.”. Something that we don’t have anymore I think.
Something I must’ve loved a lot, maybe kind of subconsciously, is the movie had a Japanese director, and that influenced the cultural aspect of it and made it more free like the anime I enjoy.
Rating (Out of 5): 4.5
