Naomi Kawase was born on May 30, 1969 in Nara, Japan. She is a director and writer, known for Mourning Forest (Cannes Film Festival Grand Prize), Still the Water and Moe no suzaku (Cannes film Festival Golden Camera Award for the best new director). She directed a number of short and feature length documentaries.
… Supple, lucent lensing is as infectiously hypnotized by the landscape as Jeanne is; even if viewers find themselves frustrated by Kawase’s twinkly retreat from narrative terra firma, it’s impossible not to gawp at the camera’s aerial caress of the forest in autumnal transition, complemented by the densely layered whistles and rustles of Makoto Ozone’s score and Roman Dymny’s airy, attentive sound design.
