Days in the Shade

Original title: 秋聲旅日記

In modern-day Kanazawa, writer Tokuda Shūsei returns to his hometown and is quietly drawn to Okine, the daughter of a fading inn. Inspired by four of Shūsei’s works, director Shinji Aoyama (Desert Moon) transforms the inner world of a Meiji-era novelist into a meditative film that drifts between memory and the present, culminating in a luminous live performance that dissolves the boundary between art and life.
