Brief thoughts on Promised Land (2023) Japan Cuts 2025

 


Two hunters go into the wilderness to hunt a bear despite there being a ban on hunting.

A film of quiet and of beauty this is a tale of men in the wilderness. There are long takes are long takes and long silences. We are in the wilderness with two guys who don't have to say a great deal.  It's a film we fall into and traveling with.

I enjoyed the film a great deal. It's a lovely change of pace compared to the loud summer movies playing out side of Japan Cuts.
