The Japanese filmmaker reveals the social issues in Japan through the stories of struggle of a provincial seafood processing plant’s workers.
If tomorrow Kazuhiro Soda were to ring at your door with his camera in tow, rejoice. He would make your family and coworkers accept his friendly self, and would leave with a story much more thrilling than you ever imagined your daily life was, somehow also documenting your countrymen’s idiosyncrasies and concerns in the background. Who would have thought that fishing and shucking oysters could be so engaging? It is, and for many reasons beyond the mollusk itself. Soda has always had talent for recording people’s unconscious behaviors and welcoming unpredictability. An open attitude rewarded again by a surge of strange or comical events. Films may not change the world, but Soda’s films can certainly show us how to look and truly see our changing world. AG
