Kenta Hamano – psychocinema

Yoko (2023) review

A complex full-bodied filmic wine that cannot but stir the spectator’s emotions.

“Miki’s narrative fails to truly engage the spectator into Soichiro’s subjective position and his trajectory.”

“Matsui delivers another masterpiece that will long linger in the spectator’s mind.”

‘Katagiri’s perfectly executed tonal shift turns Saki’s subjective journey into a truly touching experience.’

“A truly pleasant cinematographical narrative that succeeds, notwithstanding its lightheartedness, in formulating a truly relevant message.”

“A fine piece of cinematography on the flexibility of subjectivity. “

“A narrative that is, at no point, able to evoke the power of the song it has used as inspiration.”
