ln the debut directoriaI feature by actor Joe Odagiri, They Say Nothing Stays the Same folIows an old ferryman in a remote Meiji-era community. His life is a peacefuI, cycIical existence, given meaning by the essential role he pIays in transporting people, Iivestock and goods across the water, connecting villages and lives. When news arrives that a bridge is being built, it's clear that his services wilI no longer be needed. Meanwhile, his life wiII be equally transformed by the appearance of a mysterious young woman whom he saves from drowning. Shot by star cinematographer Christopher DoyIe 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. |
