Wow.

”I remember how you squeezed my hand. And I loved that.”

have been staring at a screen all day typing away at my essay so wanted something short to watch before i went to sleep. so i stumbled across this short film by Hamaguchi, a director of whom i have become very fond of as of late. 

have frankly done too much analysis today to truly try and sum up this film but it was a lovely watch. such a tranquil approach to life and death, and the connection to loved ones that transcends mortality. such an interesting concept, and i would love to go further into it as i am trying to actually write my thoughts on films to better my writing but i am frankly too tired. i might come back and rewatch at a later date.

Ryusuke Hamaguchi is a director I admire. While I don’t think I fully grasp his style and direction, I really appreciate the human aspect of his work. His characters seem to live off one another in meaningful ways, and his films often feel like reflections on social dynamics and relationships.

This is only the third film I’ve seen from him, and while his movies haven’t always completely worked for me, I deeply appreciate how he pairs these themes with a subtle, atmospheric approach.

Regarding this short film:
The premise was very intriguing, and it felt like I was jumping into the middle of a larger story. I loved how he lets the camera carry so much of the storytelling, even though this is a very dialogue-driven film.
