["Tomo and Aki" (2005)Japan]
[Satoko from Osaka, Japan]
[Rating: ★★★★☆]
I finally watched the DVD of "Tomo and Aki," the award-winning film based
on the famous book by Yukio Kodama. I love this book and have read it many
times. Kodama's detailed descriptions of life in Japan's countryside are
amazing, and the story is both funny and touching. Tomo and Aki, a young
urban couple, move to a rural village but struggle with their strange new
life. I avoided the movie for a long time because I thought it could never
be as good as the book. While I was right in some ways, the movie was
still very enjoyable to watch.
While the small village in the movie is realistic, I never quite felt like
I was there as I did when reading Kodama's words. The actor playing Tomo,
a shy and ordinary character in the book, looks too confident and handsome
for the role. On the other hand, the actress who plays Aki is very
believable, perfectly showing emotions such as joy, frustration and
sorrow. Aki really regrets their move. Throughout the first half of the
movie, she tries to maintain at least one small part of her city lifestyle
by often wearing high heels and perfect makeup around the village. In the
powerful conclusion of the movie, she gives birth to twins, which helps
her to let go of the past completely and become truly content with her
life in the village. One interesting point is the appearance of Jun
Daichi, only 15 years old then, playing a supporting role as a boy from
a neighboring village. I am a big fan of this actor, who become famous for
his later work but already shows his talent for acting in this small part.
Although I was extremely familiar with the book, watching the movie
increased my appreciation of the original story. Anyone who loves the book
can still enjoy this movie, and if you love the movie, go read the book
too!
[Joe from Buffalo, NY, USA]
[Rating: ★★★★★]
My Japanese friend took me to the Asian Film Festival yesterday to see
"Tomo and Aki." I usually avoid foreign language movies as I find it
difficult to read the subtitles and pay attention to the scenes at the
same time. However, this movie was so fascinating and delightful that I
soon forgot I was reading the dialogue. The story describes a young woman
who moves to the countryside with her husband when he tries to escape his
busy life in the city. The best part of the movie is how it shows the
interesting and unique life in Japan's countryside. The camera work and
soundtrack also add to the experience and fit nicely with lively
atmosphere of the film. I was fascinated and entertained throughout the
entire two hours.
The opening scene immediately grabbed my attention with a huge frog
jumping in front of Aki, the main character, and her screaming voice
echoing into the surrounding mountains. Actually, I was very impressed
with actress's performance as she transforms herself from fashion store
salesclerk into a successful farmer. The actress in also a talented
comedian, particularly in the scenes where she is trying to manage a
vegetable garden while battling insects, rainstorms, and lots of mud.
Among the many older village people, who are usually staring curiously at
the young couple, there are some truly amusing and unique characters. My
favorite was an old woman, a legend in the village, who eventually becomes
a good friend of the couple. In a memorable scene towards the end of the
movie, the old woman teaches Aki how to cook wild mushrooms while telling
strange traditional folk stories from the village.
Overall, I really liked this movies. The story in entertaining and the
acting is great but best of all, you can really see a different side of
Japanese culture in the movie. I highly recommend this film!
