A very French, very cinematic film,

a profound, unremitting exploration of more possibilities of film expression.

Although the author observes and examines Japan from the perspective of others, the aesthetic perspective of spectacle is a little superficial, and there is no in-depth discussion on individuals, and even shows the attitude of victors examining war criminals from time to time, but this film has a lot to do with Japan. The meticulous and in-depth observation of culture and society, as well as the author's analysis and speculation from the perspective of individual emotions and historical society, are universal to human civilization, and can even be said to have certain anthropological significance.

The style of this film can be said to be not much different from the author's previous work "Dike".

"Night and Fog", Roush, Duras, Resnais, these great documentaries and filmmakers will continue to pass on.

Documentary, as an art form of thinking, a medium for examining the heart and the world, will still be full of great power

Sans Soleil quotes

  • Narrator: Poetry is born of insecurity.

  • Narrator: I did it all. All the way to the evening shows for adults - so-called. The same hypocrisy as in the comic strips; but, its a coded hypocrisy. Censorship is not the mutilation of the show, it is the show. The code is the message. It points to the absolute by hiding it. That's what religions have always done.
