Memento Stella

Nippon Visions   ½ 

“Memento Stella” is experimental filmmaker Takashi MAKINO’s own expression for both the volatility of human existence and the unity of mankind. The title of his new film MEMENTO STELLA might be a metaphor for the poetic fleetingness of the film’s images as well as for the collective cinematic experience it offers.
