Directed by Pierre Földes / 2022
A giant talking frog and an elusive cat help a bank employee, his wife, and a lonely accountant find meaning in their lives—and possibly save Tokyo from catastrophe—in this remarkable animated film. Composer and animator Pierre Földes weaves and layers several short stories by best-selling Japanese author Haruki Murakami into one fascinating narrative, set among characters all responding in different ways to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.
“Elegantly surreal, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman is an impressive achievement, a piece of storytelling which balances whimsy against existential questions.” –Wendy Ide, Screen International
In English. 110 min.
