The mother and father stayed with me more than the children ... I'm not sure what this says about me. I think the environment the parents created for the children as a result of their individual predicaments was so sad and so beautiful.

The Chekhov of Japanese cinema!

Shindô's best film and a cinematic text book. A pragmatic example of how suggestion is cinema's greatest asset.

A very sad film despite the themes and genre. Also possibly one of the most accessible films from the new wave.

We are all a product of environment and we are no more or no less significant than anything else within it. Only our egos make us think otherwise...

How the hell can I see this?

One of the best uses of a black and white/colour hybrid film I've seen. Also after watching it a second time it is a much better film (with or without crappy subtitles).

Every now and again it's nice to watch this, just to wash the shit out of your brain. If you do not understand Canto, Mando or Japo sometimes it's a good idea to watch it with no subtitles. To get the best experience from this film don't try and follow it!

A symphony of time and place ... To portray an era in such an impressionistic way with no narration just sound, music and visuals is in itself a great feet.

Perspective cinema at its best!!

The main reason omnibus films fall short is when they try to create a theme or a piece of content that will supposedly make the film a whole. The truth is theme/content is not enough to make an omnibus film work; the filmmakers taking part have to be compatible cinematically or share a cinematic ideology. In Passing never feels like separate films, but a continuous journey through different conscious worlds. I like!!

A subtext masterpiece ... an amazing debut.

The scene where Karrer is in the police station near the end ... In theory that shot looked impossible

After every film I like him more and more

Could so easily have been cartoonish, but it's hypnotic, funny and beautiful all in one go.

This film stays with you for such a long time. Great observations from the eyes of a brilliant poet.

I wonder how his eye sight is working out for him!!!

It's amazing how place can affect people. Even how it can affect your relationships with others. Sometimes the chemistry between two people is a product of time and place. I've actually learnt a lot about Korea after watching this film. A lot of themes Hong Sang Soo has used many times since, but still a totally different kind of cinema. Phenomenal cinematography and use of sound.

I wanna see it

People change, situations change and places change ... and there's nothing we can do about it. What a masterpiece this is!

Phenomenal use of sound.

Possibly my favorite Italian film.

Apart from Patrick Keiller and sometimes Mike Leigh ... She is the only British filmmaker worth giving a shit about

He's like all those directors you love, with a spoon full of honey and cream...

Great display of humanistic dilemmas ... but I think "Oki's Movies" is even more relevant in regards to it's comments on film-making. I'm convinced this is his best film about the complications people encounter when making films.

So well observed, poetic and un-melodramatic. You have no heart if this didn't choke you up even a little bit!!!

The poetry of subjectivity ... one of the greatest documentaries I've ever seen

"MONUMENT"

The more I understand cinema, the more I seem to understand Bresson ...

My favorite Bresson. I admire all Bresson's films for his cinematic expertise, but this one for a reason I don't understand right now hit me on a much personal level (possibly says more about me than the film).
