A blind traveling musician is abused and oppressed while she tours the country, even though the modern world imposes changes on people's behavior.
IMDB - 8 wins
This is a complex and powerful film, stunning in its steady accumulation of imagery and the tragic commentary of its narrative. Shinoda handles this potentially didactic material with remarkable delicacy, never allowing it to become a heavy-handed "message" film. Its messages are always contained organically by the story, and by the character of Orin, who's played with wonderful range and quiet intensity by Iwashita (Shinoda's wife, incidentally). Her performance encompasses strength, despair, sensuality, loneliness, and mystery, and she's a wonderfully sensitive actress for depicting the emotional subtleties of this tale…This is a truly masterful film, filled with multiple layers and multiple meanings; its placid surface is deceiving.
