  No Words Will Ever Do 1994

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Sep 2024

  Images rise through the surface of water. Slow memory or imagination? What does it matter now? What is fiction? It did happen, even if the place was one person’s mind.

  Han Chee (Sweet Potato) 1999

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Sep 2024

  Who imagines the country? Even when a place is not a country, it is a state. Even when history is not agreed upon officially, it accumulates in people’s lives and their memories.

  Sans Soleil 1983

  ★★★★★ Watched 04 Jun 2020

  "Adrift on that island with my frisky dogs, I remembered Tokyo that January. Or rather, I remembered the images I filmed that January in Tokyo. How can people remember if they don't film things, don't photograph or tape? How had mankind managed to remember?"
