Ki or Breathing

About This Movie

'Ki or Breathing' is really something else. Directed by Toshio Matsumoto, this film isn't about plot or character arcs—it's more of an experience. You get these slow-motion glimpses of nature, and you can feel the weight of each frame. The score by Tohru Takemitsu adds this ethereal layer that kind of pulls you in deeper. It's all about atmosphere, you know? There's a sense of meditation to it, a chance to ponder existence in a very visceral way. Not a traditional narrative, but that’s what makes it distinctive. The visuals paired with the serene sounds create this unique vibe, inviting you to lose yourself in thought while watching. Definitely a piece that stands apart in its approach.
