Buy a ticket to one Yui Kiyohara film, get a ticket to the other free!<\/em><\/strong> A 2023 Berlinale and New Directors\/New Films official selection! Yui Kiyohara\u2019s follow-up to her acclaimed\u00a0Our House<\/em>,\u00a0Remembering Every Night<\/em>\u00a0is a lyrical and whimsical\u00a0cinematic ode that moves to gentle\u00a0rhythms of summer breezes. Paths converge or miss one another throughout a\u00a0solitary sunny afternoon in the overgrown leafy environs of once hopeful Tokyo satellite city Tama New Town. Exquisitely shot by Yukiko Iioka (Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy<\/em>), Remembering Every Night<\/em>\u00a0is a charming, deceptively simple take on the hidden riches of everyday life. Also screening is Kiyohara\u2019s feature debut, an evocative and surprising exploration of female friendship, parallel realities, and the mysteries of everyday life. As parallel stories unfold, the boundaries between two worlds within the same coastal house grow increasingly porous. Inspired by the fugues of Bach and recalling the films of Jacques Rivette, Kiyoshi Kurosawa and David Lynch, Our House<\/em> announced Kiyohara as an exciting new voice in Japanese cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
