HOT ASHES

HOT ASHES

KATACHI NO NAI HONE
Dir. KOJIMA Junji - Japan  - 2018 - 103'

SYNOPSIS


First film from Japanese director KOJIMA Junji, ten years after his short film premiered a decade ago in Berlinale. HOT ASHES arrives in Berlin fresh from the cutting table. 

Lead actress Seiko Ando gives a tour de force performance. Shot after shot, she imposes an impressive onscreen presence in this raw, restless drama done in a documentary style realistic mode. She just doesn't get a break, but never gives up either.


Her husband forges art for a living and beats her for trying to work outside the conjugal home. Her young son mimics her husband's behavior and her mother-in-law'ssanity slowly disintegrates as she treks to the cemetery everyday.  
Unraveling  like a grittier, bleaker and more intimate version of "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" transplanted to contemporary Japan, HOT ASHES is a gnawing film that worms under the skin.
