Summer in Closed Eyes offers a captivating glimpse into a personal journey wrapped in the serene yet haunting landscapes of Hokkaido. Phuong Anh Dao's portrayal of Ha is both delicate and resolute as she traverses the summer beauty of a town steeped in memories of her father. The pacing is leisurely, allowing viewers to soak in the atmosphere—snow-capped mountains juxtaposed against lush greenery, a visual contrast that echoes the film's emotional undercurrents. Themes of family, loss, and self-discovery weave through the narrative, giving it a reflective quality. The practical effects bring an authenticity that complements the raw performances, particularly the quiet yet powerful moments that linger long after the credits roll. It’s distinct in its subtlety, a quiet exploration of connection and longing that feels refreshingly genuine.
