Internationally-renowned director Shunji Iwai finds new cinematic territory in his touching and unexpected film Picnic. Tadanobu Asano, Chara and Koichi Hasizume star as Tsumiji, Coco, and Satoru, three mental patients who leave their institution with the intention of witnessing the end of the world. Believing the end is nigh, the three walk along the tops of the walls of the city, looking for the perfect picnic spot at which to view the apocalypse. But surprises and discoveries await them, along with a subtle allegory about the society in which we live. Like many of Shunji Iwai's other directorial efforts (Swallowtail Butterfly, Love Letter), Picnic finds poetry and beauty in atmosphere and cinematic grace, and manages to deliver its messages in subtle, wonderfully involving style. Picnic is a beautifully made and cinematically accomplished motion picture from a modern master of Japanese cinema. The story is about three mental patients (two men and one woman) going on a trip to watch the end of the world. They aren't allowed out of the institution, so they walk on top of the concrete wall which somehow never ends, going all the way through the city, ending as a lighthouse pier extending into the sea. |

| Wow, this was quite a surprise. I had previously only seen some of Iwai's more romantic films like Love Letter and April Story, so I wasn't expecting anything quite like this. Picnic is a weird, twisted and a stunningly beautiful film about three mental patiens who believe the world will come to an end today, and set out for a final journey. This film is full of mindblowingly beautiful images, accompanied by terrific soundtrack. Definitely one of the most memorable movies I've seen for a long time. |
