Moyoung's unfettered access to the pair is extraordinary, yet they often seem to be performing for his approval.

As fly-on-the-sarcophagus violations of human dignity go, here's one I deeply regret witnessing.

Heartening, painful and real. The unfettered reality hits hard. Life is too painful for us to be hurting each other, life is too short for us to let it be filled with hatred.

This was an amazing documentary. It was simply beautiful. It was one of the most loving, endearing, yet heart breaking documentaries that I've ever watched. Again, simply beautiful.

Slow documentary about a married couple. They have been together for 70 years plus, aged at 89 and 98 or something. The dude is sick, but he and his wife show true emotions for each other at all times. It's pretty impressive and lovely to watch, but at the same time this is just two old people in love, and pretty much nothing else. Hey, that's all you need, maybe - but not as an low budget japanese documentary. 5 out 10 matching outfits.
