The Inland Sea
In 1971, author as well as film scholar Donald Richie published a poetic travelogue concerning his explorations of the islands of Japan's Inland Sea, taping his search for traces of a standard way of life as well as his own journey of self-discovery. Twenty years later on, filmmaker Lucille Carra carried out an identical trip motivated by Richie's by-then-classic publication, capturing images of hushed charm and also conference individuals that still continued the fading custom-mades that Richie had observed. Intermixed with surprising detours-- a see to a Frank Sinatra-- loving monk, a leper swarm, an ersatz holy place of plywood and also plaster-- and woven with each other by Richie's narration along with a rating by celebrated author Toru Takemitsu, The Inland Sea is an eye-opening voyage and an extensive reflection on what it suggests to be a foreigner.
