數年前，康一無原無故離開了他東京購物區的家鄉，拋低了他的父母妻兒。今天，他突然返回這個溫暖的家，其妻子久子高興之餘，始終難耐他拋下自己時所留下的傷痛。同時，康一的舊情人大澤在隔鄰的店舖工作，對他的回歸難免略有所感。另一邊廂，一直暗戀久子的定二決意要調查久子喜愛康一這名負心漢的原因，卻因此找出了大澤的過去，及她的傷痛。在毫無準備的情況下，這些秘密改變了康一、久子以及大澤的一生。
Koichi Hamanaka suddenly returns to the tightly knit community, a shopping district, in a corner of Tokyo that he once called home. His whereabouts and his activities over the past few years are a mystery to everyone, including his parents, and the wife and child he left behind. His wife Hisako is torn between her love for him and her attempt to overcome the pain she suffered when he deserted them. Tami Osawa, Hamanaka's former lover, runs the shop in the neighbourhood. Meanwhile, Asakura, a writer who has taken a liking to Hisako, starts to look into the past to try and find out why Hisako could have married a man like Hamanaka. In doing so, he comes across details from Tami's life. As the past resurfaces and unravels, Koichi, Hisako and Tami's lives are irrevocably affected.

Lyrical film from Ichikawa Jun

"Tokyo Lullaby" is a lovely, quiet tone poem of a film. Set in an out-of-the-way neighborhood of shopkeepers in Tokyo, the film tells of the return of a man named Hamanaka to the neighborhood after an absence of many years and of all of the ripples in the neighborhood caused by Hamanaka's return. The film's story (to the extent "Tokyo Lullaby" can be said to have a story) is unveiled slowly and almost inadvertently through overheard conversations and subtle changes in expressions. We learn that Hamanaka and Tami had been in love, that Tami married another man for whom she felt sorry, but for whom she was ill-suited. We learn that Hamanaka married Hisako, then left town because he still was in love with Tami and couldn't bear his situation. Through the intervening years, Tami's husband had died, but she remained in the neighborhood, working at his parents' cafe. Hisako remained living with Hamanaka's parents. And now Hamanaka's return is upsetting the stasis into which their lives had fallen. Again, I need to emphasize the glancing, indirect approach to storytelling in this film. We don't learn most of these facts until we are more than halfway through the film's running length. Primarily, this film is an ode to the daily rhythms of this quiet neighborhood and to the profound, yet subtle, disturbance caused by Hamanaka's return. This film is not for everyone; many viewers may joke of "Tokyo Lullaby" that it put them to sleep. However, patient viewers willing to let themselves become immersed within the soothing, lyrical qualities of this contemplative film will be amply rewarded. Very recommended for fans of arthouse movies. |
