For a film that has sound in the title it may seem odd that there are so many silences, but that is the case.
The film is the story of two women who have a chance meeting and who end up circling in each other. The film is moment of their lives apart and during their meetings. It’s a film that has its own rhythms. It’s a film you have to go into and just let it happen. You can not go into the film and expect it to be something, you simply have to take it for what it is. I say that because I spent the first fifteen or so minutes fighting with it. I wanted something to happen other than what was happening. It wasn’t until I went Zen and let it happen that I clicked. It was only then that the silences hit me with their power.
If you like small quiet gems of a film seek this film out when it plays Japan Cuts this weekend.
