Fishing Moon

About This Movie

Fishing Moon, a 1980 documentary, really immerses you in this dreamlike interpretation of the ocean's rhythms. It's a fascinating piece where you feel the poetic pull of the moon on the tides, and how that influences the lives of fishermen. The visuals are striking, almost surreal at times, capturing both the beauty and the harshness of life on the water. The pacing is gentle, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere and think about the delicate balance between nature and humanity. It's not just about fishing; it touches on the connection between people and their environment, depicted through charming visuals and a thoughtful narrative. A unique work in Noriaki's filmography, especially considering its child-friendly approach to such complex themes.
