About This Movie
A New Use offers a quiet yet intimate look at a Tokyo wax factory run by Monika Uchiyama's family. The film's observational style draws you in, revealing the intricacies of handmade goods. You feel the weight of tradition and the delicate balance between love and labor. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to absorb the rhythms of daily work. There's something beautifully raw about how the family members interact with both each other and their craft, giving a real sense of their dedication. It's not flashy or overtly dramatic, but instead, it carves out a space for the viewer to appreciate the sustainability of craftsmanship through generations. Really makes you think about the value of what goes into making something by hand.
