A Pale View of the Hills (2025)

/noise/movies | Link

A mediocre, misjudged and dutiful adaptation by adaptor/director Kei Ishikawa of the weak source material by author/executive producer Kazuo Ishiguro. It's not clear why anyone thought this was a good idea. I struggled to grasp the concluding movement largely because what came before was tedious.

Brian Tallerico saw it at Cannes 2025.
