Never Ending Summer is this intriguing piece from '97 that captures a slice of life you don't often see. The whole vibe is laid-back, somewhat introspective, and it feels like you're right there with Kaneko and Onuma on their road trip. It's shot on five different cameras, which gives it a raw, unfiltered look that really pulls you in. The pacing meanders like the journey itself—certainly not rushed, allowing the audience to ponder themes of family and discovery. The performances are natural, almost documentary-like, which adds to the film's distinctive charm. It’s like a window into a summer that feels both fleeting and eternal at once.
Never Ending Summer has a certain rarity that collectors appreciate, as it's not widely available in mainstream formats. Its status is further enhanced due to the ambiguity surrounding its director and the unconventional storytelling method. Finding a copy can be a challenge and interest has been steadily growing among collectors who value unique narratives and artistic expression in film. The film's obscurity adds to its allure, making it a fascinating piece for those who seek out the lesser-known gems of the era.
