Chief Chick Comments

It may seem difficult to understand a Japanese film voiced in several languages including Japanese, Mandarin, Korean, English and Sign Language. After the death of his wife Mr Kafuku goes to Hiroshima to direct Uncle Vanya where a young girl is assigned to drive him in his own vintage red Saab. Although his wife, Oto, has been dead for several years, Mr Kafuku listens to her voicing the dialogue of Uncle Vanya which his is directing in Hiroshima. We see his doubt, guilt, and grief and ultimately we see similar emotions in his driver, Misaki, a young driver who would be about the same age as his dead daughter. Nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Film, Screenplay, Directing, and Foreign Film. The idea that you can stage a play with 5 languages is fascinating. Yes the movie is really, really long. Fast forward if you must.
