The Inland Sea
In 1971, author and film scholar Donald Richie released a poetic travelogue regarding his expeditions of the islands of Japan's Inland Sea, recording his search for traces of a typical way of living along with his own journey of self-discovery. Twenty years later on, filmmaker Lucille Carra embarked on a parallel trip motivated by Richie's by-then-classic publication, catching photos of hushed beauty and meeting individuals who still carried on the fading personalizeds that Richie had actually observed. Sprinkled with unusual detours-- a check out to a Frank Sinatra-- caring monk, a leper swarm, an ersatz temple of plywood as well as plaster-- as well as woven together by Richie's narration as well as a rating by celebrated composer Toru Takemitsu, The Inland Sea is a mind-blowing voyage as well as an extensive meditation on what it implies to be an immigrant.
