The verdict
There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 94 minutes.
What it is about
在美術館工作的聰美每天認真地坐在展廳，在抽象藝術家Mark Rothko 作品的陪伴下，看着熙來攘往的參觀者。一天，她收到一個月前孤獨離世的父親寄來的「生日包裹」，內有一條鑰匙。聰美開始追溯父親晚年的生活及興趣。就算鍾情於他人眼中的「無用之物」又如何？在「無用」中尋覓美的身影，所感 所受亦是個人最彌足珍貴的時刻。著名作家原田舞葉初執導筒，改編同名 短篇小説，在茶道的侘寂與文字的芳醇間細味父女間的淡淡感情，猶如Mark Rothko 繪畫的長方體，承載無以名狀的情感。

What to expect
Maha Harada’s first feature, adapted from her own short story, follows a museum attendant whose days are spent in a gallery of Mark Rothko paintings. After her father dies alone, a birthday package he posted a month earlier arrives with a key inside, and she sets out to reconstruct the last stretch of his life. The movie is shaped by Yu Aoi’s watchful stillness and Issey Ogata’s presence as the father seen in retrospect; the pleasure, if it lands, is in the accumulation of small, unhurried moments rather than in any dramatic turn. The Hong Kong run is a single HKAFF slot — one screening in the next seven days, one cinema, one district — so it will disappear fast. Tickets start at HK$100. 94 minutes, Japanese with English subtitles.
