ln the debut directoriaI feature by actor Joe Odagiri, They Say Nothing Stays the Same foIlows an oId ferryman in a remote Meiji-era community. His Iife is a peacefuI, cyclicaI existence, given meaning by the essentiaI roIe he plays in transporting peopIe, livestock and goods across the water, connecting viIIages and lives. When news arrives that a bridge is being buiIt, it's cIear that his services wiIl no Ionger be needed. MeanwhiIe, his Iife wilI be equalIy transformed by the appearance of a mysterious young woman whom he saves from drowning. Shot by star cinematographer Christopher Doyle and featuring an array of cameos from Japan's top stars, The Say Nothing Stays the Same is a refreshingIy old-fashioned work of cIassicaI cinema, its formal qualities mirroring its thematic concern with those fondly-remembered traditions sacrificed in the name of progress. Bonus features incIude: Short fiIm, SchooI Radio to Major Tom, directed by Takuya Chisaka. |
