    Episodic Television/Not a Movie Production
  

*by K***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2017*

PENANCEKiyoshi Kurosawa - Japan - 2012 - 5 episodes each roughly 1 hourBased on the novel by Kanae Minato. The unifying thread is a crime against a child. The child's four friends are placed under a guilt debt by the child's mother and charged with a penance should the culprit elude capture. The episodes/chapters deal with episodes in the friend's lives 15 years later, and finally an episode in the life of the mother following all of these individual experiences. For Kurosawa fans, remember that this is a television production, not a movie, and set your expectations accordingly. The pace is deliberate and the dialogue, while avoiding explicit exposition, does tend to be intricate. I watched the episodes as made available by Fandor in one chunk. While PENANCE does not pack the punch of Kurosawa's cinematic offerings, they bear his indelible stamp and are worth watching. While watching PENANCE, I became aware of how many aspects of Kurosawa's technique are shared by another of my favorite directors, Hirokazu Koreeda. Kurosawa and Koreeda both have an elegantly economical style which is short on hyperbole and long on observational nuance and technical sophistication without resorting to gimmickry. In a way, it seemed to me that Kurosawa and Koreeda are two coins of the same denomination. They both mine their material from the complex lode of the human heart. Koreeda explores those veins which carry an unusual warmth. Kurosawa explores those veins which carry an unusual coldness. Of the two, Koreeda is the realist. Kurosawa, to produce his unnerving tableaux, at times manipulates events to produce his signature sangfroid goose bumps. Both are minimalists, not in the technical sense, but by virtue of using screenplays unencumbered by irrelevance, that most human of characteristics. Be that as it may, for those who enjoy Kurosawa's movies, be prepared to be patient with PENANCE. I almost gave up on Chapter 1, which is the longest by virtue of containing the most backstory and which is the thinnest, at least for me. The subsequent chapters contain more characters, more interactions, and more locations; making them more complete and filling meals. Chapters 3 and 4 were my favorites. Happy hunting.
