Film Diary: Away With Words [Christopher Doyle]

Away With Words
dir. Christopher Doyle
1999

:star::star::star::star::halfstar:

If the happy things are what I remember, does that mean I am sad when I forget?

Written and directed by my favorite cinematographer, Christopher Doyle's Away With Words stars my favorite Japanese actor, Tadanobu Asano. The film is an experimental free-form poetic essay on memory and language. Naturally the visuals are breath-taking.

Kevin Sherlock is hilarious and Mavis Xu is adorable.
