Kabuki and 1950’s studio style combine in Keisuke Kinoshita’s lavish and heart-wrenching account of a rural Japanese family planning for and coping with the responsibilities and struggles of ubasute - a village’s custom to carry elderly family members to a mountaintop in winter and abandon them. Gorgeous set and production design add a compelling dynamism to an otherwise carefully plotted family drama.
