我们是谁？从哪里来？又将归往何处？这些问题和我们的生存息息相关，水瓶但却很少有人能够给出准确的答案。历时14个月，水瓶穿越24个国家，导演罗恩·弗里克（Ron Fricke）用镜头向我们展示了大自然能够拥有的最壮阔最绚丽的景致——从远古到现在，从猿猴到人类，从荒无人烟的沙漠到震撼人心的宗教活动现场，从广袤天地带来的感动到婴孩单纯的笑脸给予的幸福，我们会发现，很多时候，我们并不能意识到，这美好的一切正时时刻刻的发生在我们身边。全片没有台词，片名Baraka在古伊斯兰语中代表祝福，这也是导演拍摄此片的初衷，祝福与我们共同存在在这颗蔚蓝地球上的一切。

回复 :Kato is an aspiring screenwriter treading water. He spends his days pitching stories to offbeat agents and executives who are anything but impressed.

Little does Kato – or anyone – know that life is about to take some seriously weird turns.While out to buy the special brand of food for his girlfriend’s dog Cerberus, Kato discovers an abandoned convenience store that transforms his trajectory. A stumble into a refrigerator catapults him into a realm of fantastical inspiration boosted by an eccentric couple he meets along the way. Might this be the key to getting his mojo back?Miki Satoshi (Adrift in Tokyo, What to Do with the Dead Kaiju?) returns with a surreal and quirky indie film that manages to be both charming and deeply philosophical. Teaming up with Japanese cinema expert and notable critic for The Japan Times Mark Schilling (Art, Cult and Commerce: Japanese Cinema Since 2000), Convenience Story takes you on an eccentric Dantean ride brimming with psychological tension and the zest of karma. From the purgatory of writer’s block, to a hell of an adventure, Kato’s journey is a satisfying and thoughtful tale.源自：https://iffr.com/en/iffr/2023/films/convenience-story
