Shari (2021, dir Nao Yoshigai)

Original title (JP): シャリ (Shari)

Welcome to Shari: a small town on the north-east coast of Japan’s northernmost island of Hokkaido, on the Shiretoko Peninsula where the Sea of Okhotsk meets Russian shores. Here, we meet hunters and bakers who love venison a few ways; flying squirrel enthusiasts and a collector known for his “Hall of Hidden Treasures.” At the heart of it all is the conspicuous absence of drift ice and fish in this crucial winter season. Meanwhile, the Red Thing, a yeti-like creature, sanguine “like a throbbing blood clot” rampages through the scenery where folklore blossoms from the meeting between human and nature... the latter now skipping a beat.
