Still the original

Highly condensing the "wabi-sabi" and "sorrows of things" in Japanese aesthetics, Tony Takiya's life unfolds like a scroll in a parallel-moving lens, with nothing but loneliness and loneliness. Most of the shots have extremely subtle, tasteful compositions, creating a world with no sea horizon and a strong sense of space above and below. What is more questionable is that in the process of adapting Haruki Murakami, Jun Ichikawa recited a large number of declarative descriptions (including the psychological activities of the characters) through narration. Although he faithfully restored the text and situation of the novel, he guaranteed the emotional atmosphere and the author's original intention. It is absolutely consistent, but it also loses the meaning of the film as a "film" to some extent (is there a better way to adapt this kind of literature to the film?). Ryuichi Sakamoto's soundtrack can be enjoyed as a pure musical work that is not the original soundtrack. It has a strong cool, independent, and isolated texture, which adds a lot to the movie.

Nishijima Xiujun is just a narration, and I always feel that the male protagonist in it has a bit of Murakami's charm.
