Noise

About This Movie

So, 'Noise' is an interesting piece directed by Ryuichi Hiroki. Set on this isolated island, Shishikari really captures that feeling of stagnation and decay. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, which works well to build tension as Keita, played by Tatsuya Fujiwara, dives into the competitive world of black fig production. The atmosphere feels thick with desperation and hope, blending crime and drama seamlessly. It’s not flashy; the practical effects ground the story in gritty realism. The performances are layered, with Fujiwara bringing a quiet intensity. What I found distinctive is how the film explores themes of isolation and ambition, all while wrapped in the slow, haunting beauty of the island itself.

Unique exploration of isolation and ambition.Slow-paced yet gripping, with a haunting atmosphere.Strong performances, especially from Tatsuya Fujiwara.
