action

When her brother gets married, she returns to Osaka for the festivities and is caught up with her past.
criticism
Roger Ebert gives the film four out of four stars and notes: “'Maboroshi' will not offend us with a simple plot. It's not a soap opera. Sometimes life presents us with big, painful, unsolvable questions and we cannot just 'get back to business'. There is not a single shot in the film that is not dignified and sublime. "
“A minimalist film with a touch of calligraphy that casually and deeply poetically deals with the themes of silence, loneliness, humanity and religiosity. Far from meaningful metaphors, he lets nature and people's faces speak for themselves, whereby the contrast between light and shadow and long shots reinforce the contemplative character. An extraordinary reflection on the flow of life. "
