When a bored college student learns that a long lost aunt has been found dead in a park, he begins piecing together her life to see if it had any value. What he finds is a revelation.
Talented film director Tetsuya Nakashima (Kamikaze Girls) wields a host of cinematic tools to make Memories Of Matsuko a memorably entertaining and emotionally powerful fairytale tragedy, weaving together realistic human drama with offbeat comedy and spectacular (Bob Fosse-like) production numbers to tell the heartbreaking story of Matsuko Kawajiri, a starry-eyed woman who spends her entire life searching for a worthy ‘prince’ capable of returning her limitless love.
Versatile actress, Miki Nakatani, renders a virtuosic performance in the lead role of Matsuko.
