Jessica Kiang Variety “A Far Shore” is, in its politics, a very contemporary story. But centering the experiences of a sex worker striving to survive a succession of bad men is also firmly in the classic Japanese tradition of Kenzo Mizoguchi. Jul 8, 2022 Full Review Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography A Far Shore offers a highly engaging story that explores the destructive effects of a societal field that fails to reach out to subjects-in-need.
