Fascinating theme: Euthenasia and can you offer people to end their lives at the age of 75 for financial reasons? I had hoped for an understanding of Japanese thinking on the problem of ageing, but I was presented with a film that was extremely slow. A lack of depth did not compensate for this. The fixed position of the camera man in a shot is starting to irritate, to say the least.
The lead actress is the only bright spot in the film, her doubts fueled to the last by the positive human contacts are endearing and beautiful. Nice theme but poor technical elaboration. The cinematographer received a special mention in Cannes, but for what exactly is completely unclear to me, if the mention ensures that more films are filmed in the same way then I fear the worst. Finally, I was pleasantly surprised by seeing Japanese culture and behavior, it gave me insight into the way Japanese deal with complex issues.
