Avalon (2001)
Hidden by leaves
This movie is definitely not about computer games, virtual reality, war etc. Watch `eXistenZ' and `Matrix' instead.
Main themes of `Avalon' are solitude, desolation, emptiness, calmness
And what about the story? The shell may be different, but the core is the same.
There is no need to understand this movie at all. As Rilke wrote: `
be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.'
Just look and listen.

Mono No Aware - Sad Charm of Existence
Beauty, emptiness, sorrow, absence - there is no way to describe this wonderful film. Just look and you will see. I have always liked films which images get into consciousness without need of thinking. Pure meditation. This film is all that I expected and will always expect from Japanese cinema. And there is always rain in my heart too.
