Ryutaro NINOMIYA 二ノ宮隆太郎
Minori, On The Brink
Nippon Visions ½
Can Minori avoid a nervous breakdown? All the people surrounding her refuse to express their feelings and emotional boundaries. The resulting everyday life is characterized by ruthlessness: Even friends reduce each other to their appearance and shamelessly take advantage of each other. Minori runs against this by attacking ignorance whenever she encounters it, whatever the consequences might be. Ryutaro NINOMIYA is one of the most radical young voices in Japanese cinema. With MINORI, ON THE BRINK, he takes a resolute and inventive stand against the cinema of complacency and against social stagnation.
