I had a hard time slowing down enough to appreciate this movie. I’m also having a hard time figuring out how to describe it without making it sound like a horror film. It’s a meditation on humanity’s connection with and responsibility to nature seen through a small village and a proposed glamping site. Go when you’re in a more contemplative mood and ready to bask in long quiet scenes of of passing trees and chopping wood- but also be ready for some unexpected turns.
Also: It’s in Japanese with subtitles, but it isn’t exactly dialogue-heavy.
