The second movie on Saturday was Non-Ko, a movie that I already had written the desription in the festival-booklet and also had to do the speech for. This time my speech went far better than the first time, even though we had 7 times the guest count than in memory Stealers. So I’m pretty happy with that. The movie is more or less a portrait about Nobuko, a 36-year old woman, who isn’t succesful in a job and has no family – so she breaks both expectations that the society has in a woman with her age. The consequences and her struggle are shown in really beautiful images underlined with a fitting soundtrack with many variations of the same theme. If you like calm movies, this one’s definitely for you!
