The film was shot on location in the snowy regions of Hokkaido, Japan. Former assistant director of François Truffaut, Masahiro Kobayashi, made OLD MAN WALKING ON SNOW with a modest budget, but with great skill for what it is. OLD MAN WALKING ON SNOW is about an older man whose wife recently died. The frosty haired man has few activities in his daily life to keep him busy. He watches fish near his house as the highlight of his day. He meets a younger lady who is interesting. And at the second anniversary of his wife's death, he meets his two sons, who bring deep subtle conflicts. THE OLD MAN AND THE SNOW or OLD MAN WALKING ON SNOW or L'HOMME QUI MARCHE SUR LA NEIGE is best for those who like slow quiet dramas.
