Editorial
A profound reflection on humanity’s place in nature, this ecological fable from director Ryusuke Hamaguchi is also an enthralling sensory experience. Eiko Ishibashi’s haunting score brings out the beauty and mystery of untamed woods where good and evil, care and apathy fight their perennial battle.
