YesAsia Editorial Description
After winning the Grand Prix at the 30th Cannes Film Festival with The Mourning Forest, Japan's leading female director Kawase Naomi again takes audiences on an emotional, humanistic journey into the forest in Nanayomachi. Set in the heart of Thailand with a cast of Japanese, French, and Thai actors, the film follows a troubled 30-year-old Japanese woman and her emotional and spiritual growth as she discovers a new life and culture. Popular actress Hasegawa Kyoko (The Sword of Alexander) stars in Nanayomachi along with Murakami Jun (Out of This World) and French actor Gregoire Colin (Adela).
Arriving in Thailand by herself, Ayako (Hasegawa Kyoko) hails a taxi to go to her hotel, but the driver heads onto a remote mountain road. Scared for her safety, Ayako jumps off the taxi, and runs into the nearby forest away from the pursuing taxi driver. In the forest, Ayako encounters a handsome monk (Murakami Jun), and then a French student (Gregoire Colin) who brings her to the riverside guesthouse where he studies. The guesthouse is run by Amari, a traditional Thai massage practitioner. Despite the language barrier, Ayako begins to find peace of mind under Amari's guidance.
Comes with photobook.

Product Information
日常を離れ、バンコクの南、サムットソン・クラームに降りたった彩子。しかし、ホテルに向かうはずのタクシーが辿り着いたのは鈍沌とした森の中。うっそうと生い茂る緑が美しい森と静かに水をたたえる川のほとりで出会ったのは、伝統的な高床式の小さな家に暮らすタイ人母子。そこにはフランス人の青年グレッグも同居していた。言葉が通じない、知る人もいない、ここがどこなのか分からない。癒されるはずの場所でタイの湿気だけがまとわりつき、不安と苛立ちから心と身体で衝突する彩子は、やがてタイ古式マッサージに触れ、濃密な自然に包まれて見知らぬ人々と七つの夜を過ごす。

Extreme Dissappointment
|
Since i really enjoyed "The Mourning Forest" I was quite anxious to see this film. How it turned out would have been more acceptable if it was the director's first film, but as a followup to the wonderful "The Mourning Forest" this shows a casual disregard to form/plot and a pretentious display of receiving praise too quickly as a director. "Nanayomachi" is basically about an attractive Japanese woman in Thailand whom hangs out with a gay annoying French guy and some nice Thai people to just chill out and learn massage. The lead actress looks damn fine in her tank top, but in this role there is no indication of her acting skills, as she and all the rest of the cast cannot communicate with each other due to the language barriers (Japanese, Thai, French). The viewer has no idea why the women is in Thailand, and more importantly why she and the complete strangers she meets bother to/decide to hang out like a family. It makes for a warm, fuzzy "we all can get along despite our different languages/Thai people are oh, so generous" vibe,..but that is only for the film. There is nothing realistically convincing about their relations and how they act. They are many scenes that just are so forced and try to show acting, but come across as very amateurish, like one where everyone is fighting and screaming because the Thai woman's child is missing at some point. Very unconvincing. I would much rather watch a documentary about Thailand because the film is shot beautifully. As a "film" with a plot, purpose, conflicts, etc.....it is a complete and utter embarrassment. Like I said, she looks good in that tank top and she can cry on cue....but that's about it. It's good to try to catch people in a natural light and just focus on interaction, but the director needs to show the minimum amount of discipline to keep viewers engaged. |
