彼方之聲

杉田協士 SUGITA Kyoshi｜日本、法國 Japan,France｜2023｜DCP｜Color｜83min

帶著一卷錄著淙淙水聲的卡帶，謎樣女子在日常生活之外，開啟了尋覓聲音來源的支線任務。電車、課堂、影廳、書店與茶室，周而復始的行程之間，她邂逅一名嘗試幫助她的獨行中年女子，路上相逢略顯疏離的父女，以及形形色色的路人與同學，相伴踏上或長或短的旅程。掩藏著心底失落的祕密，她在人生河畔漫步終日，追尋的究竟是方向、解答，亦或是歸屬？

繼前作《他方的短歌》後，杉田協士再度與《偶然與想像》攝影師飯岡幸子合作，以宛若日本短歌的節奏，在大量的留白長鏡與自然聲景間，平實卻深刻地譜寫小城輕熟女的心靈札記。導演內斂描繪女性肖像與人際關係，靜謐而深邃的風格令人聯想侯孝賢的日語名作《珈琲時光》，細膩堆砌的情感張力格外令人驚豔。

Haru, a bookstore clerk, talks to Yukiko pretending to ask for directions. Haru has detected deep sorrow on Yukiko's face. Meanwhile, Haru has been spending days following Tsuyoshi discretely and checking his expressions. When Haru lost her mother as a junior high school student, she met and talked separately to Yukiko and Tsuyoshi by chance. The action was brought by the remorse that Haru couldn't help her mother while knowing her sadness. Haru has since continued to watch Yukiko and Tsuyoshi now and then as she confronts her grief and feelings towards her mother.
