Hunting Tigers

About This Movie

So, 'Hunting Tigers' from 1988 is an intriguing documentary that kind of captures this unique moment in time. Directed by an unknown hand, it dives into the life of Kenzaburo Oe, a celebrated Japanese author. But what really sets it apart is the rushed nature of the film; Okazaki's documentary is almost an accidental exploration. The pacing is tight, you can feel the urgency of a fleeting moment throughout the film. The atmosphere feels charged with missed connections and the weight of miscommunication. Oe’s performance, if you can call it that, is raw, and there's this palpable tension as they navigate through mistranslated facts. It's a fascinating look at how quickly things can unravel in the world of filmmaking.
