YesAsia Editorial Description
Laconic thirteen-year-old piano prodigy Uta (Narumi Riko) has been in a detached slump ever since her father disappeared. With her mother (Tezuka Satomi) struggling to make ends meet, Uta was forced to leave her old house and piano behind - her father's piano, the only piano she wants to play. Much to her mother's dismay, she keeps skipping her piano lessons, distancing herself even more from the people and places around her. She starts to open up when she meets 19-year-old aspiring pianist Wao (Matsuyama Kenichi), with whom she develops an unlikely friendship.

Product Information
ピアノの才能に恵まれ、“神童”ともてはやされながらも、自らの才能をもてあましている13歳のうた。 彼女はある日、落ちこぼれの音大受験生ワオと出会い、音楽を通じた人々との、繋がりの温かさに目覚めていく…。主人公うたに扮するのは本作が映画初主演となる成海璃子。ワオ役は今最も注目される若手男優・松山ケンイチが演じている。日本初の本格クラシック映画にふさわしく、三浦友理枝、清塚信也ら注目のピアニストたちが映画初出演をはたした他、僅か5歳でウィーン国立音楽大学予備科への入学をはたした“世界の神童”和久井冬麦がピュアな音を提供してくれている。さらに、前作「帰郷」で国内外で高く評価された俊英・萩生田宏治が監督を、「リンダ・リンダ・リンダ」の向井康介が脚本を、チボ・マットとしても知られるハトリ・ミホ、クラムボンのミトといったアーティストたちがポップで美しいサウンドトラックを担当している。 【音声特典】オーディオ・コメンタリー 「神童」鑑賞鼎談 出席者:萩生田宏治(監督)×向井康介(脚本)×根岸洋之(プロデューサー)/劇場予告編収録(特報/予告編/TVスポット2version.)

Shindo definitely is Matsuyama-san`s movie, full scenes that are quiet yet loaded with emotion, scenes in which he can exhibit his massive talent - it`s acting without a trace of overacting as always, and as always, he`s brilliant. That said, the story of this movie sometimes had me confused. I didn`t get the opening scene on the river, where, in retrospect, it appeared as if Uta and Wao had met with eachother before they actually did. The ending was utterly abrupt and confusing, and it seemed Uta`s problems, such as her relationship to her over-ambitious mother, the loss of her father and the uncertainty she felt about what to actually do with her life, were never truly taken hold of and discussed, much less solved. The movie is most successful when concentrating on portraying the ups and downs of Uta and Wao`s friendship, and some of the scenes are really lovely. The scene where Uta plays her father`s old piano in the abandoned house at night with Wao watching and listening is pure poetry. I`m not sure whether I`d recommend this movie to anyone except those who want to watch everything an actor has produced, though. I went for Shindo because of Matsuyama Kenichi and, having finished this pretty, but somewhat strange and, at times, dragging, movie, I cannot say it offered anything besides that refined talent. |
