The Taste of Tea (2004)

Katsuhito Ishii · 143 min · Letterboxd ↗

A spell of time in the life of the five-piece Haruno family in rural Tochigi Prefecture. Yoshiko is not an ordinary housewife, instead working on an animated film project. Uncle Ayano, a successful music producer, is looking to get his head together after living in Tokyo. Meanwhile, Sachiko is concerned with why she seems to be followed by a giant version of herself. As the lazy days pass by, each member of the family is followed in a series of episodic vignettes.

The Taste of Tea screens once in London: Prince Charles Cinema, Thursday 28 January at 20:25.
