YesAsia Editorial Description
One of Japan's leading female directors, Kawase Naomi first came to international attention in 1997 when she became the youngest winner of the Cannes Caméra d'Or with her debut feature Moe no Suzaku. Ten years later, she won the Grand Prix at the 30th Cannes Film Festival with her acclaimed film The Mourning Forest. Though better known for her full-length narrative films, Kawase has spent most of her filmmaking career working with documentaries, often of an autobiographical nature. She is, however, equally adept at observing others. Her 1997 documentary The Weald revolves around the daily lives of elderly woodcutters living in the mountains of Nara in the village of Nishi Yoshino, which is also where Moe no Suzaku is set.
Comes with Nishi Yoshino woodcutters featurette, plus leaflet.
