As the only film from Japan to make the cut for this year's Sundance Film Festival, Keiichi Kobayashi's debut feature is notable for its rejection of contemporary Japanese filmmaking norms. Shot entirely in black and white and devoid of any music, About the Pink Sky would seem to have perfect minimalist art house appeal. However, this story of a group of high school girls on a journalistic mission is much more mainstream than the look and feel of the film might suggest. Protagonist Izumi (Ai Ikeda) has an odd hobby of rating newspaper articles based on her own positivity criteria. This hobby comes in handy when Izumi finds a wallet loaded with thousands of dollars worth of Yen and determines it belongs to the...

Keiichi Kobayashi has directed television programs, music videos, commercials, and Web‐based dramas in his native Japan. "About the Pink Sky (Momoiro sora o)" is his debut feature film, and it won best picture at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2011. What's it about: This black and white coming of age tale follows headstrong Japanese school girl Izumi. Izumi, whose hobby is rating newspapers articles with positive or negative values, finds a wallet containing 300,000 yen (almost $4,000) and instead of returning it to the owner, lends the money to a fishing buddy with financial problems. The plot evolves with a distant, dreamlike quality. Says director Kobayashi: "The reason why I shot it in black and white: The present quickly becomes the past. The message I wanted to convey was the idea of being in the present and living life, taking in each moment. I shot the whole movie myself. I'd only...
