Beautiful, Quiet and Strange

I saw this film years ago at the ICA in London. And for some reason i think about this film a lot. It has really gotten into the dream space in my head.

The film begins with some Polaroids of a young boy and a young girl. A female voice over tells us who these people are...they are brother and sister, she is seven and he is eight. She goes on to say that when she was seven and he was eight, she told her brother that she would marry him.

And then we are in the present day. Her brother, all grown up has had an accident, he is in hospital and he has lost his memory. So what does she do? She goes to visit him and tells him she is his husband and that is kind of how they live...as husband and wife. That's basically the set up. Will she get way with it. Will he get his memory back? Is it right or wrong? This is a very stark and still film. The cinematography is beautiful. There is very little dialogue and the pace is slow. But the plot is strong and i member how much i cared about these people that by the end i was on the edge of my seat. This is a gorgeous unforgettable dreamlike film that really does deserve to be seen by more people.

Very unique and bizarre treatment from Japan

Hypnotic arthouse cinema very similar type to shinji aoyama movies (Eureka etc.) that i cant find it anywhere until i randomly found some online dvd store that has the japanese copy with Thai subtitle

The movie itself has a slow pace and painfully boring I would personally recommend for cult film enthusiast only!
