Life Is Journey (2003)
Directed by Seiichi Tanabe
Overview
LIFE IS JOURNEY is an anthology of four stories about people who live in solitude, but who yearn for togetherness. Each day brings chance meetings and reluctant partings, joy and pain. The first vignette, “Life”, portrays half of a woman’s life in one-scene, one-cut, nine-minute sequence. “N” is a comical take on a man abandoned by his lover. “Ya” explores the bond of female friendship as one woman consoles a brokenhearted girlfriend. In “Nowhere”, a man and a woman roam the streets of a foreign land in search of lost time.
