Forgotten Planets

About This Movie

Forgotten Planets is a really interesting exploration of two women grappling with their identities in contemporary Japan. Rui, who's writing a screenplay, seems to get lost in her relationship with her boyfriend and the art of filmmaking itself. Then there's Meiko, an actress who's hit pause on her career, both literally and metaphorically. The vibe is quite somber and introspective, with a slow pacing that perfectly mirrors their emotional states. The film's atmosphere is thick with this sense of 'nowhere-ness.' It’s all about the performances—subtle yet profound—and the way it captures feelings of invisibility and longing. Definitely feels like a low-fi gem with a raw edge, which adds to its unique charm.
