It's been watching a few Japanese films on Netflix (37 Seconds, Call Me Chihiro, both excellent), so decided to watch this. Five short films apparently inspired by musicians I've never heard of. The music wasn't up to much, but the short films were surprisingly good. With very little backstory, and highly condensed plots, they managed to give an emotional impact beyond, or perhaps because of, their limitations. Excellent directing, cinematography and acting, each one different but with a similar style and theme (mostly loss, or potential loss; or rather, rebirth through loss). I can't say which is my favourite, since the quality remained high throughout. Perhaps if more people watch this, it might get a higher rating. I see there's another anthology on Netflix, which I'll watch next.
