Winner of the Gold Hugo for Best Film at the 31st Chicago International Film Festival, the Japanese director, known for his subtle stunners AFTER LIFE, NOBODY KNOWS, SHOPLIFTERS, and MONSTER, creates a somber meditation on memory, loneliness, and grief. Filmed with the same reserve and sensitivity as its performances, MABOROSI (which loosely translates to “phantom light”) follows a young mother who is devastated when her husband suddenly and inexplicably takes his own life. She moves on and remarries, but the mystery of her former lover’s death still lingers.
