Description: In 1971, author and film scholar Donald Richie published a poetic travelogue about his explorations of the islands of Japans Inland Sea, recording his search for traces of a traditional way of life as well as his own journey of self-discovery. Twenty years later, filmmaker Lucille Carra undertook a parallel trip inspired by Richies by-then-classic book, capturing images of hushed beauty and meeting people who still carried on the fading customs that Richie had observed. Interspersed with surprising detoursa visit to a Frank Sinatraloving monk, a leper colony, an ersatz temple of plywood and plasterand woven together by Richies narration as well as a score by celebrated composer Toru Takemitsu, The Inland Sea is an eye-opening voyage and a profound meditation on what it means to be a foreigner.
