Screening on 35mm!
Monday, August 4 at 7:00: Introduction by Dennis Doros and Amy Heller
Hirokazu Kore-eda's first feature film MABOROSI is a story of love, loss, and ultimately, regeneration.
Haunted by the mysterious loss of her grandmother many years ago, a beautiful young mother (Yumiko, played by Makiko Esumi) struggles to come to terms with the sudden loss of her husband. Yumiko remarries and with her young son moves to her new husband’s home in a remote village on the wild, untamed Sea of Japan. There, she is haunted by the past, but with time and the natural wonders around her, she awakens to find love, understanding, and a sense of peace.
A Kino Lorber and Milestone Films release.
