Kokoro is one of the masterpieces of Japanese literature. Written in first person and in two different narrative times, Natsume S?seki's most acclaimed novel initiated a dialogue with the reality of his time; melancholy, ambiguity and irony were blended in a text of great subtlety. When filmmaker Kon Ichikawa decided to shoot Kokoro, the challenge was multiple: how to adapt a work with two voices and two narrative times? How to capture the essence of a vanishing Japan with the arrival of the Taish? era? Giving a twist to the literary source, Ichikawa focused his version on the representation of taboo, and put his film in dialogue with theoretical discourses circulating around Kokoro.Downloads
