Nobody Knows
I watched Nobody Knows, a Japanese film about four kids whose mother abandons them in an apartment in the city. It was heartbreaking and yet beautiful to watch. It reminded me of some of Truffeut's films. The kids were amazing actors and at times it takes on a documentary realism. Very good stuff, but very sad -- especially for the fact that it was loosely based on real events in Japan.
This week is going to be tough. We have a lot of work to do to get the first rough cut finished. I'll be tweaking the first act of the film while Kyle races to finish a first draft of the remaining scenes to be cut. It's all looking good but we won't really know how it plays until we see the HD footage intercut with the super-16mm. Wish us luck everyone! Please?
