Movie of the Day: Along the Sea (2020) by Akio Fujimoto
Akio Fujimoto directs a film that highlights the issues illegal immigrants face in Japan in the most realistic fashion, with the narrative following, essentially, a documentary-like path, both in terms of context and stylistically. In that fashion, Kentaro Kishi’s camera follows the characters and particularly the protagonists from a very close distance, occasionally through intense close-ups, in an approach that makes the viewer think that he is actually among them, rather than being just a spectator.
