Hitokara ヒトカラ Trailers

A poem about grief and the artificial, a copy of a copy of a copy, a therapeutic slow cinema meditation on solitude and the psychoanalytic and healing aspects of karaoke and all it implies, its emotional mechanics, modern art as endless duplication, the Real within the “false”. A love letter to Japan, channelling Marker and Benning into a spiritual reimagining of a Totoro hunt, a Shinto funeral rite for ghosts caught between worlds, and ideally, an antidote to Matsumoto's Atman. Featuring the Steamroom compositions of Jim O’Rourke.

Reviews
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Tockinit not horrible nor great
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
