Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman
Impressive and captivating animated adaptation of Haruki Murakami’s short stories.
Director: Pierre Földes
Overview
Based on a collection of short stories by Haruki Murakami, this animated feature film follows the lives of multiple characters as they navigate post-tsunami existence and the existential repercussions of urban life, including an unambitious bank employee, his frustrated wife, a delusional accountant, a lost cat and a giant talkative frog. It's an ambitious treat that flirts with the surreal and delivers on all fronts.
