This is just brief word on the newly restored MOVING which was directed by Shinji Somai.
The film is the story of the break up of a marriage from the stand point of a young girl. Old enough to understand to some degree but not old enough to handle the emotional earthquake, the young woman is forced to figure out the new normal as the uncertainty of it all makes her act out in unexpected ways.
The film looks and feels like a drama a decade or two earlier. In a weird way it reminded me of a less soapy and over wrought Douglas Sirk film. It is a film that very much cares about its characters, all of them.
This is a really good film that still stands up and feels fresh 30 years on.
Go see this and be moved.
