Out of fear, out of the unknown, arises the irrational. As the paranoia of uncertainty runs amok, the responses trigged by individuals, whole communities, and even whole civilizations to clamber on to some sense of normality arouse our own perplexions; to have all we know as societies rejected and reduced to footnotes of “simpler times” produces nothing but extreme reverberations from all walks of life. When the world shutdown amidst Covid-19’s reckless rampage, the immediacy of the ordeal left its irreparable stain on the lives of all those it touched, not to mention all the lives it has thus claimed. Life became fleeting, time stood still, and the endless vacuum that sucked us all in spiraled out of control. It is the search for a new purpose that preoccupies Non’s (Rena Nounen) sophomore feature “Ribbon”, not so much as an existential yearning but as a means to stave...

The family drama has always been one of the flagships of Japanese cinema, with local filmmakers having perfected a style that was initiated in the 50’s and was established in its current form through the films of Hirokazu Koreeda. “Goodbye, Grandpa” follows these lines, closely.
Goodbye, Grandpa screened at Vesoul International Film Festival of Asian cinema, running from January 7 to February 14.
The story uses the regular “trick” of the death that brings the family together. This time the deceased is the grandfather, Isao, whose funeral brings together all members of the household of Harunos to the rural place Isao’s children grew up. Akio is the older brother, whose wife, Jun, has divorced him, and has two children he seems to know very little about; Yohei, the older son who has some psychological problems rarely leaving his house and Chiharu, a high-school student who seems really cool and mature for her age.
