Koi

About This Movie

Koi is a haunting exploration of memory and loss, weaving real-life accounts from the 2011 Tsunami in Japan with a visceral, almost dream-like quality. The director, Lorenzo Squarcia, crafts a narrative that feels both intimate and expansive, pulling you into the depths of grief experienced by families left behind. It’s not just a document of tragedy, but a poignant meditation on how we cling to the memories of those we've lost. The pacing is deliberate, allowing space for reflection, and the performances—often raw and unfiltered—create an atmosphere that lingers long after viewing. The practical effects used in the film enhance its reality, making the emotional impact all the more profound.
