Noboru Nakamura is a Japanese master who was contemporaneous with Keisuke Kinoshita, establishing his style later in his career, resulting in minimal exposure overseas. He excels at capturing the fleeting nature of characters' lives, with a poetic essence as profound as poetry itself. His representative work is "Night of the Fragmented Scales." In commemoration of Nakamura's hundredth birthday, a new copy has been released in Japan, showcasing a style remarkably similar to that of "In the Mood for Love," predating it. Two parallel time frames: at 19, Yoshie falls in love with the underworld, suffering from the ravages of lust, becoming a courtesan; at 25, she is emotionally stagnant, captivating, yet encounters a sincere admirer. As these timelines intertwine, Yoshie's heart is as chaotic as her circumstances. The mesh of visuals and lateral composition points to the characters' inner lives, harmonizing intriguingly with Wong Kar-wai's style. Miyuki Kanno, the actress who gained fame in "Cruel Tales of Youth," embodies an angel one moment and a devil the next, her magnetic presence rivaling that of Maggie Cheung. The film’s screening on film presents a rare opportunity.
