After the death of his wife, Rudi travels to Japan in order to make up for lost time and re-connect with her. While there, he meets a young impoverished dancer.
This film was directed by Doris Dorrie. This 2008 foreign film, tells a dramatic story that has some underlining tones about family values falling apart. The heart of the story is very touching even if there are a few moments when it becomes unconventional. Using the Butoh to aid in its story was very poetic. The backdrops also added to its poetic nature. However, there are a few moments when the film feels like its lingering a little too long. Elmar Wepper played the role of Rudi Angermeier. He was believable in the role even if he felt unlikable. Aya Irizuki played the role of Yu. She revealed the films heart and was a great supporting actress for Wepper.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It is a decent foreign film that uses creative means to show its heart.
This film can be seen on DVD.
