July 26, 2021. Teruo is turning 34. As he waters his plant, and performs his daily rehabilitative stretches, he considers his career as a dancer, behind him due to injury. The young man now works as a lightning technician, shining the spotlight on his former colleagues. In another rearview mirror: Yo, Teruo’s former partner. A cab driver, she now navigates the eerie, emptied-out streets of a COVID-stricken Tokyo. That day, as she brings a musician to her ex’s venue, she wanders backstage, as if led by a powerful sense of melancholy, or familiarity. Catching a glimpse of Teruo on stage, the memories of the past six years come flooding in.
Special Mention and Audience Award winner at the latest Tokyo International Film Festival, JUST REMEMBERING marks the return of Daigo Matsui (JAPANESE GIRLS NEVER DIE, last year’s REMAIN IN TWILIGHT) to the festival. Taking a cue from Jim Jarmusch’s classic NIGHT ON EARTH (Teruo and Yo’s shared favourite) and the American filmmaker’s mastery of the episodic format, Matsui unspools the usual rom-com into a whirlwind of flashbacks, finding, in the reverse chronology, a beautiful tool to evoke the ways we construct relationships and process memories, hopes and dreams—however dashed—over time. Starring Sosuke Ikematsu (THE TOKYO NIGHT SKY IS ALWAYS THE DENSEST SHADE OF BLUE) opposite Sairi Ito (ASAKO I & II; LIFE: UNTITLED), a screen couple for the ages, this is an unforgettable love story, and a perfect match for the upset and melancholy of the past few years on Earth. – Ariel Esteban Cayer
26 juillet 2021. Teruo fête ses 34 ans. Alors qu’il arrose ses plantes et réalise ses étirements de réadaptation quotidiens, il repense à sa carrière de danseur qui a pris fin à la suite d’une blessure. Il travaille désormais comme éclairagiste, braquant les projecteurs sur ses anciens collègues. Yo, l’ancienne partenaire de Teruo, parcourt maintenant dans son taxi les rues sinistres et désertes d’un Tokyo frappé par la pandémie. Ce jour-là, alors qu’elle conduit un musicien à la salle où se produisait Teruo, Yo s’aventure dans les coulisses, guidée par une forte mélancolie. En apercevant Teruo sur scène, les souvenirs des six dernières années remontent à la surface.
JUST REMEMBERING, gagnant du prix du public au dernier Festival international du film de Tokyo, marque le retour de Daigo Matsui (JAPANESE GIRLS NEVER DIE; REMAIN IN TWILIGHT) à Fantasia. S’inspirant du classique de Jim Jarmusch NIGHT ON EARTH (le film préféré de ses personnages), ainsi que de la maîtrise formelle du réalisateur américain, Matsui transforme le schéma de la romance classique en un tourbillon de flash-backs. La chronologie inversée devient alors un magnifique outil pour dépeindre la façon dont nous forgeons nos relations et gérons nos souvenirs, nos espoirs et nos rêves, anéantis ou pas, au fil du temps. Sosuke Ikematsu (THE TOKYO NIGHT SKY IS THE DENSEST SHADE OF BLUE) et Sairi Ito (ASAKO I & II; LIFE: UNTITLED) forment à l’écran un couple qui restera longtemps dans les annales du genre. Une inoubliable histoire d’amour, en accord parfait avec le bouleversement et la mélancolie de ces dernières années sur Terre. – Traduction: Stéphanie Cusson
