Found out about this late so won't be able to watch as many as I'd like. This list is to help me remember what I saw and to remind myself to check back in for the next one.

Japanese Movie - 2022

9.5

So glad I saw this. Gentle, slow, quiet.
2. Tenzo

Japanese Movie - 2019

8.5
3. A Muse Never Drowns

Japanese Movie - 2022

9.5

The loneliness of the first half was difficult for me but the ending made up for it.
4. Bachiranun

Japanese Movie - 2021

7.0

Some of the scenes of dairy farming and fishing/fish processing were difficult for me. The drops into surreal were disorientating. It was all a bit too far a stretch for me and kept me on edge. Others will love it for that.
5. Follow the Light

Japanese Movie - 2021

10

This is my favourite of the festival so far.
6. Bon Uta

Japanese Movie - 2018

perhaps a bit too long, at least for someone who wasn't invested in the subject going in.
note to myself have seen 1 hour 22 minutes
