Miki Nakatani: AIR POCKET

About This Movie

So, 'AIR POCKET' is quite the intriguing piece, isn't it? Following Miki Nakatani's 'BROKEN HEART,' it has this abstract, dreamlike quality that really sets it apart. The film unfolds in Paris, creating a visually rich backdrop that enhances its ethereal vibe. Ryuichi Sakamoto's score, directed by Atsuro Watabe, adds an atmospheric layer that feels almost haunting at times. It's not just a simple music video compilation—there's a certain surrealism that lingers, especially with the blend of 'AIR POCKET' and 'CHELSEA GIRLS.' The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the imagery and sound. It’s definitely unique, though not everyone might vibe with its abstract nature.

This film has seen limited releases, primarily in niche formats, which makes it a bit of a rarity. Collectors often search for original tapes or DVDs, as later editions can lack the same charm. Its abstract style and unique scoring elements attract a specific audience, making it a curious gem in any serious collection.
