Dusky Blue (1989)

Directed by Shiota Taizo

Overview

Koich is asked by Izumi to take her to Kujira Town. She says it’s to meet someone she likes. Koichi is reluctant to go, but he has no choice but to borrow a car from his friend. This is how their journey begins. A love story in an off-the-map town, with a light touch on the relationships between men and women of the time, such as Assi-kun and Keep-kun. With the addition of stylish props such as Koichi’s room, his friend’s car, and the breakwater in Kujira-cho, a bit of whimsical dialogue, and background music that shows a thorough attention to music selection, the film is a road movie with an experiential beat.

Length 48 minutes
