Beautiful beautiful beautiful - from the cinematography, to the gentle exploration of human connection, to Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray. As a fellow philosophy student who writes and takes photos and sometimes worries it’s all a bit shit, I really enjoyed watching this. I also like that it’s not an overly sexualised exploration of male / female connection (female director duh).
Feels a bit colonial though. ‘Silly Japanese aren’t we so much more wise and complex than you ha ha’ vibe. But I guess just sign of the times??
