A man leaves Mexico city for the remote countryside where he intends to end his life. There he finds lodging with an old Indian woman, Ascen, in her ramshackle home overlooking a desolate canyon. In the vastness of this wild, breathtaking natural landscape, the old woman's infinite humanity reawakens his dulled senses and desires. Inspired by the visionary cinema of Andrei Tarkovsky, Carlos Reygadas' extraordinary debut feature - stunningly shot in panoramic cinemascope - is an enigmatic and mesmerising meditation of the themes of death and rebirth, human strength and frailty, and love and faith.
Mexican director Carlos Reygadas' impressive debut builds on the promise and recent success of Mexico’s new generation of filmmakers that have emerged. The fresh approach of these young filmmakers has explored more contemporary and edgy themes, that have struck a chord with audiences both in Mexico and abroad.
JAPÓN has already achieved success at international festivals including Rotterdam, Cannes - where it screened in the Director’s Fortnight and received a special mention at the Camera d’Or - and Edinburgh, where Reygadas won The Guardian New Directors Award.
The film follows a man who - cynical and disillusioned - leaves Mexico City for the remote countryside to prepare for his death. There he finds lodging with an old Indian widow, Ascen in her rickety home, overlooking a desolate canyon. Looking for peace, order and detachment he is confronted with her infinite humanity and the vastness and physical vigour of the wild, breathtaking landscape where his desire for life and raw sexuality is reawakened.
A meditative and existential journey, JAPÓN’s themes of death and rebirth, human strengths and frailty, sex and love, religion and faith are explored against the backdrop of the rugged and awe-inspiring landscape of the canyon. Artificial Eye
