A young female director travels solo to Tokyo, where she accidentally meets an extravagant character, 63-year-old Yamada-San, who dresses like a woman and who was never accepted by society. The two of them only communicate through the camera and arbitrary translations of strangers, who overcome the fear towards Yamada-San this way, and so begins a chain of changes.
Reviews
Good movie but grossly overrated
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
