1. Tokyo Sonata
Here’s another movie that I have reviewed. It is the best movie of modern Japanese cinema, and really helps define what it should be aiming for. Life Back Then is a good example of a more mainstream well-made Japanese movie. This movie feels more independent, but still does an excellent job of providing an engaging story ranging from topics such as joining the military to parenting to unemployment. The movie finds a near perfect way to end itself before falling into potential chaos while leaving us with quite a few things to remember. You’ll likely remember the movie as being music-related though the movie itself has very little music playing throughout the movie. The movie doesn’t try to move the audience through its scenes with sweeping dramatic music, but instead finds itself well in its simplicity. The movie features excellent writing and directing that carries the audience through without the necessity of the typical orchestral movements were so accustomed to hearing in cinema. And it still does well as a movie with music. You’ll see why when you see it; watching the trailer will give you a good glimpse into the movie, as well.
