Kakera
Departures - New Japanese Cinema
Director Momoko Ando has been earning comparisons with Sofia Coppola for her haunting debut feature. Loosely based on the manga title Love Vibes, Kakera follows dreamy college student Haru. Coasting along in a dull relationship with her loutish boyfriend, she meets Riko, a woman who works as a prothetist. There is an immediate spark between the two women that Riko is keen to explore further. Haru is won over by Riko’s attention and passion but finds herself facing an entirely new set of problems in a relationship that grows increasingly intense and suffocating. The music is by former Smashing Pumpkins star James Iha.
