Documentaries Have Grown on Me.

I think I’m falling more and more in love with documentaries. Choosing two films about Takuma Nakahira might feel a bit indulgent—but I can’t help it. On one hand, I genuinely love his work; on the other, these two films approach the same subject in completely different ways, and watching both reveals a richer, more layered experience. Andrei Tarkovsky: A Cinema Prayer and Greenaway Alphabet are not just fascinating because of the artists themselves. The former, directed by Tarkovsky’s son, feels like a poetic homage; the latter, a playful and profound conversation between Peter Greenaway and his daughter, offers a very different kind of parent-child dialogue. Both are worth savoring. And as for Suzaku… do I even need to say anything? Just—breathtaking.
