Viewing Notes
This is exactly the type of movie I was referring to the other in my JOURNEY TO THE SHORE notes. Director Kazuhiro Soda follows this young politician during his campaign to win over a city that he’s not originally from (he moved there from Tokyo to run). However, in this documentary, you see everyday life throughout the city. From commuters squeezing on a subway to kindergarten children doing their ceremony, it’s a lot of daily life in Japan with this guy trying to convince people to vote for him.
Literally closeups of visiting Konbini which is my favorite thing.
