Masako Sakamoto

The dialogue is as close to poetry as possible, the images are as free as if they were captured directly on the camera, and the mountain summer grasses and abandoned buses have as much presence as the characters. And a light air, as if they were stitched together with humming. The film, which was made from images that sprang up rather than being worked out, asks the viewer to be sensitised rather than understood. The happiness and unconcernedness given by the many songs and smiles of the characters may be one of the origins of "making films because you love them".
