Monsieur Saito
«Страх и трепет» - это фильм о том... в общем, так: "в детстве я хотела быть богом, потом христом. потом, осознав чрезмерность своих амбиций, я согласилась быть мученицей, когда стану взрослой. став взрослой, я умерила свою манию величия и решила устроится переводчицей в японскую компанию". история о том, как жить, когда все бессмысленно и беспощадно, с точки зрения Дурака. о том, что Амели - Дурак, то есть нулевой аркан колоды таро, я почти не сомневаюсь.
Сборник короткометражных фильмов, снятых по мотивам "правдивых" историй, которые были собраны по всей Японии. Каждый эпизод длится примерно 5 минут, но на мой взгляд, каждый из них даст фору любому голливудскому полнометражному отстою. Истории варьируются от забавных до весьма мрачных, смотрятся они на одном дыхании. Наслаждайтесь.
