Things I Watched: Bright Future – I Won’t Try to Explain



If you’re unfamiliar with Kiyoshi Kurosawa then I have nothing to offer except the advice that you should get familiar with him. He makes extremely strange films like Bright Future - an oneiric tale about two disconnected youths that eventually morphs into a father-son ghost story.

I especially love MUBI’s description of the film.

'Enigmatic Mamoru lives alone with his poisonous, hauntingly luminous jellyfish.'

I give up if that doesn't make you want to watch it.

Things I read: Heaven (By Mieko Kawakami)

Image
I’ve always been a fan of Japanese literature but it wasn’t until recently that I realised how popular it’s become.  Every time I wander into Waterstones I seem to find more contemporary novels sitting on the front tables, staring at me like some sort of wide-eyed cat waiting for its evening meal. It’s a pleasant surprise considering that just five years ago the availability was seemingly much smaller - confined to the likes of two Murakami’s (Ryu and Haruki) with some older novelists sprinkled in for good measure (Mishima, Kawabata, Yoshimoto, Soseki, etc).  It’s made me really excited to plunge into them now that it seems everything is getting a professional translation. Heaven is the first contemporary Japanese novel I’ve read since - ooh - Killing Commendatore back in 2020. It’s also fittingly the first full-length novel by its author, singer-turned-writer Mieko Kawakami. The book  focuses on two high school students who are bullied relentlessly, the narrator, an unn...

Things I Watched: Fugue - A Polish Psychodrama About Being Unable to Let Go

Image
Fugue is a psychodrama meaning it’s not the type of film I often choose to watch. I gave it a go because I don’t feel I watch enough new movies. MUBI is running a ‘New Auteurs’ season and this one is Polish, released last year and made by female director, Agnieszka Smoczynska. The film begins in disequilibrium with the sight of a disheveled woman stumbling into a subway station. It turns out she has been involved in an incident. Two years later she appears on a national television program designed to locate the families of missing persons. Her father calls the show and she rejoins her family, although she doesn’t remember them and now thinks her name is Alicja. MUBI’s description suggests Fugue explores the ‘traditional role of women in society’. I felt had more to dowith overcoming past trauma. Alicja’s lack of memory highlights her desire to start again, but her obligations and family - including infant son - represent an inability for her to do so. It sucks the life out of ...

Things I Watched: Broker – A thoughtful drama about child trafficking

Image
I’m never sure when I sit down to watch a Kore-eda movie whether it’ll be one of his expert dramas in the vein of Maborosi and Nobody Knows , or a simpler tale such as Our Little Sister or After the Rain . Broker kind of skirts a line between these types. It’s a combination of grand subject matter but with a delicate character portrayal at its heart. It’s not my favourite Kore-eda movie, nor do I think it blends all of its themes perfectly together, but it stands out because of the way that Kore-eda so expertly lends a humanist touch to the minutiae of interpersonal relationships. Broker is, to my knowledge, the first and only South Korean movie Kore-eda has made. The story focuses on a group of amateur child traffickers led by Sang-hyeon (played by the ever-recognisable Song Kang-ho). They take ownership of a baby abandoned by his mother and seek a buyer which leads them to be chased by detectives; the main one being played by Bae Doona. Their attempts to sell the child deepen their...
