泳ぎすぎた夜
The Night I Swam
Nippon Visions ½
For six-year-old Takara, the way home from school turns into an unexpected odyssey in Japan’s snowiest region, Aomori. In their first film together, Damien Manivel and Kohei IGARASHI have created a simple, bewitchingly beautiful masterpiece that successfully oscillates between poetry, melancholy, and humor.
