Takashi Shimizu

What makes a Takashi Shimizu film a Takashi Shimizu film

Across 6 films, they run far more spirituality, much more ambiguity and much less hope than films in general. Their films resemble each other more than chance would account for, though not unusually so.

The line down the middle is the average film. A bar to the right means more of that reading than films in general, to the left less. Drawn from every film of theirs in the catalogue, not a selection.
