Su-ki-da (2005)
Genre: Drama / Romance
Country of origin: Japan
Why you should see it: I've watched the opening of this film maybe three times now, due to the fact that I either fell asleep or didn't feel like continuing watching the film. Due to the reason that the tempo in this film is quite slow. I managed to get past the opening today, I came into the rythm of the film and discovered it's strengths and charms. The scenes in this film are quite long and there's only a few cuts (compared to other films nowadays). Most of the time you could argue that nothing happens on screen and that the story never progresses, the film is about 100 minutes while it actually could shortened to just 60 minutes. However, since the tempo is slow, you start noticing the very small things I think the director of this film wants us to notice. I think the thought here is "Less is more", there's not much dialogue that's being said by the actors. Thus, a majority of the storytelling is made by the body language of the actors, who did a very good job at it. Furthermore, the guitar-theme of the film really grows on you, it's a nice tune. In conclusion, if you want a cosy evening with a slow and touching film, watch Su-ki-da.
