#jujur gw kesel dgn argumen "gak usah pake moral compass" saat konsumsi media. sbg pembejalar konflik & kekerasan, gw kdg terbiasa memandang suatu karya ga dari kompas moral, tp dari lensa budaya kekerasan & injustices. nah, dalam film yg belakangan ini ramai diperbincangkan—
only film in this Cannes lineup I’m looking forward to is Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s All of a Sudden. That one critical calls it just as weak as Asako I&II but that’s exactly how i know it’s my cup of tea 🙂↕️
ALL OF A SUDDEN is one of the most beautiful, compassionate, and profoundly humane films I’ve ever seen. You can reform a system from within and perhaps extend its life, but the same cannot be said for people. We are all born knowing that one day our time here will end. All we can hope for is that, when that moment comes, we leave this world peacefully. And that’s exactly what this immense film is: peaceful. A soulful meditation on the human condition and celebration of nurses and caregivers unlike almost anything else, it captures our capacity to laugh, love, create, and care for one another as we all move toward the same inevitable fate. Virginie Efira and Tao Okamoto are both heartbreaking and heartwarming together, their special bond carrying so much weight with quiet elegance, found in the tiniest of moments. Another intellectual, deeply emotional, and masterfully written and directed work from a brilliant filmmaker, one that earns every second of its 196-minute runtime.
