Naomi Kawase is one of the most renown female Japanese director, awarded by the Cannes Film Festival more than once. She works alternately in fiction and documentary film, not drawing a distinct line between the two. Her favored themes are birth and death, the union of man and nature; the most distinctive feature of her style is technical minimalism. The region of Nara, Kawases home - is almost always the location for her films.
