Origami

About This Movie

Origami is a contemplative dive into grief and creation. Atsushi Suwa, a painter, explores the haunting process of capturing a life lost too soon. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with the weight of his task. It’s interesting how the film uses the art of origami as a metaphor for rebuilding and folding experiences into something new. The atmosphere feels heavy yet reflective, almost like you're sharing in Suwa's introspection. You can sense the struggle and depth in his brush strokes, each layer revealing a bit more of the student’s essence. It’s a unique perspective on mortality and memory, with no flashy effects, just raw emotion and artistry.
