七夜待
Nanayo (Nanayomachi)

《殯之森》 (hkaff 2007) 導演河瀨直美的最新作品，這次她離 開故鄉奈良(亦是她大部份作品拍攝的地點)，離開日本前往泰 國。行將30的Saiko，生命總似是有道缺口，點點焦慮點點茫 然，一日隻身來到言語不通的泰國，嘗試摸索前路的去向。路 上，遇上了法籍男子，被他的風度和對生命的熱誠所暗自感 動，以為生命從此泛起漣漪，卻又遇上了一名僧人，接著便一 個接著一個關於他的夢境……儘管身在異地，河瀨依然以女性 的筆觸和感性，細細描繒了女性在生命關口時的躁動和不安， 細膩而溫柔。

After winning the Grand Prix at the 30th Cannes Film Festival with THE MOURNING FOREST, Japan’s leading female director Naomi Kawase takes a sensual and spiritual journey into the heart of Thailand with a Japanese, French, and Thai cast. Unnerved by a dodgy cabbie, Ayako runs into the woods without her luggage and finds shelter with a traditional Thai masseur. Though faced with a language barrier, she slowly opens her eyes and heart to a new culture in the jungle, where peace and discord both seem one stroke of the hand away.
