      Audience Member The tranquility and sounds of the forest have a calming effect, like listening to the rain or having a massage, and I like how the characters develop a bond that goes beyond the language barrier, but the film stays on the surface of sensations and feels only inconclusive. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member quà (C) embole naomi cuando se pone new age Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The artificial direction that pretended natural. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Though seemingly 'empty' and pointless, this is a movie which delves into existentialism, against the backdrop of a Japanese tourist in Thailand Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Starts off well, as Kyoko Hasegawa arrives in Thailand (for reasons never explained) improvising her way around, dealing with language issues, in a tank top, sweaty and very sensual. She's accosted by her taxi driver who drives into the woods when she falls asleep. Hasegawa flees and ends up in the arms of a french guy who's chillin' in Thailand learning the art of massage from some motherly type and staying with her family. Turns out the taxi man is the motherly type's brother. From then on it's a cultural diversity essay, pointless and painfully poorly acted sprinkled with attempts at maintaining some semblance of sensuousness. This film is clearly half improvised and half scripted, the former interesting, the latter, embarrassing and without explanation. It feels creepy. <a href='http://sitenoise-atthemovies.blogspot.com/2009/07/nanayo-nanayomachi-2008-japan.html' target='_blank'>sitenoise at the movies: Nanayo</a> Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
