Inbi

About This Movie

Inbi is a curious piece from 1987 that treads softly through the lives of its characters with a delicate touch. The atmosphere, almost claustrophobic at times, pulls you into the mundane yet intricate world of Michiko Sakuraba, portrayed by Mami Ogawa with a quiet intensity. Her role at the law office feels almost like a cage, but there's a glimmer of hope with that concert ticket—a symbol of escape. The pacing is slow, allowing for introspection, which might not resonate with everyone, but it certainly creates a contemplative mood. What’s striking here is the subtle way emotions are conveyed, often without words. It's the kind of film that lingers in your mind, begging for your thoughts long after the credits roll.
