Donald Richie on Okaeri:
“Makoto Shinozaki in his debut film tells the arresting story of a typical young couple who are brought to sanity thorough the wife’s madness. Beautiful, laconic filmmaking with an unforgettable performance of Miho Ueshima as the wife… Many films celebrate the status quo, just as many directors are only concerned with saying what everyone already knows. Shinozaki, an essayist, knows how to think for himself. And as a projectionist (this is how he supports himself), he also knows film history including–the largest influence on his work–Robert Bresson.” (Excerpted from Richie’s A Hundred Years of Japanese Film.)
