The Mourning Forest
(Naomi Kawase, Japan 2007, 97’)
ICA CINEMA 2
Monday 10 March 6.30PM
"Kawase is a consumate, original filmmaker, with a talent for delicate emotional shading, made all the more authentic by her near-documentary style" - Screen International
Winner of the Cannes Grand Prize 2007, The Mourning Forest is a sumptuous, melancholy film, subtle and rewarding in its mysterious tale of grief and reconciliation. At a small retirement home in the hills young caregiver Machiko takes a special interest in elusive patient Shigeki who is still mourning the death of his wife years before. After celebrating Shigeki’s birthday Machiko decides to take him for a drive in the countryside. When their car is forced into a ditch by a land-slide Machiko is forced by Shigeki to embark a journey together, one which finally unveils Machiko’s own desperate loss. After two exhausting days trudging through the dense wood they finally arrive at Shigeki’s wife’s tomb...
Novelist and filmmaker Naomi Kawase was born in 1979 in Nara, Japan. She has made many films and is currently working on a new feature called If Only The World Loved Me.
