You Are the Film

Makoto Ueda has long been a fixture at genre festivals around the world. As the screenwriter of films such as River and Beyond Infinite Two Minutes, he has shown an extraordinary gift for constructing stories that may seem utterly mad at first glance, yet can also move audiences deeply. He demonstrates the same talent in his directorial debut, You Are The Film, which transforms the cinema into a portal through which the lives of two strangers begin to intertwine in remarkable ways. This inventive genre play never loses momentum and makes remarkably imaginative use of its modest running time.
