Distance

Four seemingly widely different people seek shelter in a small cabin in the forests outside Tokyo. They all have relatives who three years earlier were involved with a cult who polluted Tokyo’s drinking water and killed several hundred of its inhabitants. Through the night, these survivors are forced to confront themselves, their memories of the deceased and why they acted the way they did. In Distance Kore-eda flirts with the Dogme style, something that makes the characters appear highly vulnerable and at times completely mentally exposed. akek
