    • Trivia
      The title of this film in Japanese is "Kishibe no Tabi". The Chinese character used in Kishibe is the same one used in "Higan". Higan is the equinox event in Japan in which it is believed that dead relatives come back for a visit. Of course it happens in Spring and Autumn.

    Journey To The Shore: Not as beautiful as expected
    I heard good things about director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, I heard his movies are works of art and tear at the emotional heartstrings like a cat through newly decorated wallpaper.

    The premise is beautiful, the performances aren't bad and I had such high hopes but came away unfulfilled. I'm not saying Journey To The Shore is a bad film, I'm just saying they took a great concept and neutered it.

    Telling the story of a widow going on a road trip with her late husbands ghost I found myself struggling to care about the characters and simply not understanding the rules to ghosts and their connection to this world.

    The last time I was this confused about ghosts in a movie it was the Paranormal Activity series and the thing I was confused about was why in the blue hell I was watching them!
