Basically I made a mistake haha.
I wanted to see Little Forest (2018) but got this one instead, without much checking....oh well. Only after 40 minutes it felt off. Until then (and after) it felt like a treat. It felt like a movie about symbiosis, about our connection to the earth and nature, it felt obvious, comfortable, chill.
Then I would have compared it with how Romania does agriculture. It doesn't feel the same. In Japan it seems like a more philosophical approach, much more profound. For us, it feels more like survival...either that or something was lost along the way. There is still respect but it's more distant and on a grander scale. When we make jam we make it for 20 people, not one. I still found some common ground to the stuff made in-house that has the same name as some brands...like the Nutella stuff. Nostalgic stuff.
You just feel that she will live past 100. If you want to escape, watch this and escape together with our protagonist.
