    The original intention is to record the documentaries of various countries, and the filming has become a Japanese fan. In the end, 80% of them are in Tokyo. ....

    9.5, a prose documentary, the structure is loose, but the director actually uses letters to string everything together, which is really talented. The film has a strong literary flavor, and the Left Bank faction is really...

    This narrative method between three and four stars is still very powerful (in memory, almost no one could survive such a chaotic narrative before the 1980s, and there was no audience) Japan was really developed in the 1980s (so stop watching Eskimos as anthropologists). I have a way to make a film, so it looks stupid) I don’t give a high score mainly because I don’t understand why Africa and finally Iceland must be added, and I don’t think it’s inexplicable that I didn’t understand...

    The film is unfolded in the form of letters, and the fragmented images exude fascinating emotions under the concatenation of texts. The temporality of the past is endowed by the text, and under the leadership of Chris Mark, we were able to travel and think in Iceland, Tokyo, Africa and other places by breaking the dimension of space. How can the diverse Tokyo not make people linger, as the carrier of memory, we dig new emotions from the past time and time again, and the beauty of privacy and...

Sans Soleil quotes

  • Narrator: All women have a built-in grain of indestructibility. And men's task has always been to make them realize it as late as possible. African men are just as good at this task as others. But after a close look at African women I wouldn't necessarily bet on the men.

  • Narrator: Off Okinawa kamikaze dived on the American fleet; they would become a legend. They were likelier material for it obviously than the special units who exposed their prisoners to the bitter frost of Manchuria and then to hot water so as to see how fast flesh separates from the bone.

    Narrator: One would have to read their last letters to learn that the kamikaze weren't all volunteers, nor were they all swashbuckling samurai. Before drinking his last cup of saké Ryoji Uebara had written: "I have always thought that Japan must live free in order to live eternally. It may seem idiotic to say that today, under a totalitarian regime. We kamikaze pilots are machines, we have nothing to say, except to beg our compatriots to make Japan the great country of our dreams. In the plane I am a machine, a bit of magnetized metal that will plaster itself against an aircraft carrier. But once on the ground I am a human being with feelings and passions. Please excuse these disorganized thoughts. I'm leaving you a rather melancholy picture, but in the depths of my heart I am happy. I have spoken frankly, forgive me."
