The sudden departure of two important people without warning has a life-long impact on the heroine's psychology and life. The questioning that cannot be answered, whether the explanation of the phantom light can be attributed to impermanence. The composition of the film is very beautiful. It can be seen that it is carefully designed and has a unique taste. Many angles are very well found, with depth and center. The empty mirror alone is enough to cry. The light and shadow on the stairs, the...

2015.12.09: I just found out that "Phantom Light" is the director's debut film by "It's Hirokazu". More than a month ago, because I learned that today is the 20th anniversary of its release, I downloaded it and decided to watch it today. I wanted to watch it in the middle of the night yesterday. I came, but the plans couldn't keep up with the changes, so I finally took time to watch it after waking up in the morning: a very soothing movie, I was in a bad mood at first, and my mood got better and

In the cold and dark "Phantom Light", we can see the prose style he inherited from Hou Hsiao-hsien, as well as too many passages and aesthetics that Kawase later stole from the past. Especially the polishing on the poetic light and shadow creates a sense of mystery about the truth of life and death. But he can always see the pace of the character "Never Stop" and the change of seasons in his lens. Far away from the green mountains, Xueluo comforts people's grief. Looking at the empty sea from a...

What Yumiko struggles with is not the loss of the deceased, but the departure of those close to her for no reason. "Illusionary Light" is illusory and beautiful, it may be the distress under the cover of the embarrassment of life, or it may indeed be the sudden realization of life at a certain moment. In any case, people always need a reason to let themselves resolve the pain in their hearts and relieve themselves from the separation of life and death. The 23-year-old Asano smiles so...

Towards the end, the funeral crowd at the seaside and Yumiko, who was far behind, walked in from the right side of the picture and walked out from the left side of the picture. People and the sea level in the distance were integrated. The composition and music of this scene, the whole person. All...

It is Hirokazu Kore-eda's earlier films that seem more pure and clear to me. Losing my grandmother, losing my ex-husband, and leaving my close relatives for no reason (unusual reasons) cast a shadow on my heart, once in childhood and once after getting married and having children. The film has always maintained a restrained and reserved lens language, and the questioning of life and death is well-measured in the director's hands. Lights, piano music, the sunlight shining into the stairs, the...
