The Leading Hand

Signals like the moon streetlights like stars The camera warmly captures the winter night roads and the directors eye is also that of a director looking at two people who are more than friends but less than lovers When Sakai chooses what is most important to him without hesitation ie when he accepts the responsibility of loving her the period in which she had chosen to leave him gives the story a deeper depth A film that uses unrealistic motifs but depicts the birth of happiness in a sufficiently realistic way
