Glasses (Japan, 2007)

Taeko an stressed out career woman leaves her stressed out life in the city for an island vacation. The vacation does not become what expected, as everyone on the island are rather strange.

Glasses (a.k.a. Megane) is a pretty slow but good film about trying to appreciate life. During her trip, Taeko meets people who has far less need of material things than herself, and learns that life is more than just owning a lot of stuff. There's not an awful lot of dialogue and the tempo, as I've said, requires a viewer with bit of patience, but it's a soothing and very calm film where not a lot of stuff must happen all the time and that's quite nice, I think. 

Genre: Drama
