About This Movie

Autumn Days is a fascinating look at Nogami Teruyo, a figure not often in the spotlight despite her decades-long collaboration with Kurosawa. The documentary is intimate, almost like a quiet conversation, with its pacing allowing you to really sit with each story she shares. It captures the essence of the creative process, the challenges and triumphs behind the scenes. There’s a certain warmth, perhaps even nostalgia, as she reflects on her journey alongside one of cinema's giants. The visuals are simple but effective, focusing more on Teruyo’s expressions and memories than on flashy effects.
