Usu is an interesting exploration of grief and nostalgia, the kind of film that lingers on your mind. It's shot with a kind of raw realism that matches the protagonist's emotional state. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really soak in each moment, which some viewers might find slow, but it builds a strong atmosphere. The performances are understated yet impactful, especially when the main character reflects on his past and the inevitability of change. There’s a unique charm in how it captures the mundane aspects of life, like running a photo studio, while threading in deeper themes of loss and memory. It’s this blend of the ordinary with the profound that makes Usu stand out.
A slower pacing that really drives home the themes.Strong focus on character introspection.Interesting visual style that supports the narrative.
