MCT:September 20, 2008Capisco che stiamo parlando di Kitano, capisco che il tema trattato è delicato va bene anche la poesia e la delicatezza tipiche del suo stile. Ma è un film inteminabile con pochissimi dialoghi e un improbabile protagonista surfista giapponese. Non mancano immagini e scene di forte impatto e grande drammaticità rappresentate con grande maestria mi ha ricordato molto Hana-bi anche se questo mi è parso ancora più lento.

MCT:September 10, 2008A sweet love story and an ode to surfing without the violence that Kitano was, and is, notorious for. Even without a storyline centering around cops and yakuza, the film is distinctly Kitano. The central characters, Shigeru and Takako are deaf, and they do not utter one word of dialogue in the entire film.
As with all of Kitano's films, this is one that makes the viewer slow down and take in the film's style and story. Kitano's trademark minimalism here results in a film that unreels as a series of snapshots of a perfect summer. Heartbreaking, uplifting and simply beautiful.

MCT:July 9, 2008This movie was beautiful and right up there in line with Dolls. It's another slow love story which has a very happy and sad mood at the same time. Having both the main characters be deaf was very moving as the film involved little words and spent most of it's time developing characters through their actions. The movie encourages people to live their life and pursue whatever dreams they have despite any handicaps holding them back. It blew me away and proves that Kitano can leave behind the violence and crime dramas to make a film that hits you in the heart and stays with you. Simply genius film both in direction and story. Great! Kitano is the master of taking movies which are always slow, but never bore you.
