The Inland Sea
In 1971, author as well as film scholar Donald Richie released a poetic travelogue about his explorations of the islands of Japan's Inland Sea, videotaping his look for traces of a traditional lifestyle in addition to his own trip of self-discovery. Twenty years later, filmmaker Lucille Carra took on an identical journey influenced by Richie's by-then-classic book, recording pictures of hushed appeal as well as conference individuals that still continued the fading customizeds that Richie had actually observed. Sprinkled with unusual detours-- a browse through to a Frank Sinatra-- loving monk, a leper colony, an ersatz temple of plywood and also plaster-- as well as woven together by Richie's narrative along with a score by well known composer Toru Takemitsu, The Inland Sea is an eye-opening trip and a profound reflection on what it indicates to be a foreigner.
