“Kawase gauges the limits of intimacy, exposing where motherhood ends and childhood begins. Or, rather, exposing what lies in-between, by positioning itself in the middle of things (of bodies, subjectivities, affects).
— Another Gaze

In three films, filmmaker Naomi Kawase explores the daily life, love, and growing distance between herself and her grandmother. In her fearless desire to scrutinize the inner-workings of her familial bonds, Kawase cements her status as one of the most compelling and quietly radical filmmakers of her generation. Featuring KATATSUMORI (1994), SEE HEAVEN (1995), and THE SETTING SUN (1996).
