this is my fourth naoko ogigami movie and i think i finally understand why her movies feel so magical to me.
riverside mukolitta explores themes like grief and second chances: who deserves happiness? what is happiness? how do we mourn? how do we honor? what does it mean to give a second chance? and to get one?
but most importantly and i think this ties together every ogigami movie i've seen thus far: what can help us with our human loneliness?
community. gentleness. people. unexpected people. people you push away. people who come back.
loneliness is always shared in her films. it's the tenderness with which she explores her characters, their whimsy, and their loneliness that makes her movies so special to me.
some might say that nothing really happens in her movies but at the end of each one, i feel a very deep tenderness for humanity and for the loneliness that's just waiting to be shared.
