Itadakinosaki

About This Movie

So, Itadakinosaki is this graduation project from Keiichirou Saitou at Kyoto Seika University. The film has this almost ethereal quality, mixing traditional and contemporary visuals. You can really feel the tension in the pacing, it builds gradually, leaving you immersed in its world. The themes hover around introspection and human connection, and the practical effects have a raw charm that brings its narrative to life. The performances feel genuine, not overly polished, which adds to the film's unique character. It’s like watching a dream unfold, where every frame feels carefully crafted yet spontaneous.

Itadakinosaki is relatively rare in collector circles, with limited formats surfacing mainly in independent film screenings and art house compilations. The scarcity makes it a subject of interest for those looking to explore academic works in cinema. While recognition is still growing, any release is significant given its background in emerging talent from Kyoto Seika University.
