"Seagull Diner" renowned Japanese director Naoko Ogigami skillfully portrays different female identities through imagery. Her new work "Ripple" focuses on the midlife crisis of women, depicting a middle-aged woman who, after her husband leaves home, turns to a new religion for solace, praying daily in silence, only drinking bottled water sold by the church, and transforming her garden into a dry landscape that resembles rippling waves. To her surprise, her husband returns seeking care, burdened by cancer, while her son, who expects everything to be served to him, brings his disabled girlfriend home, stirring up what seemed to be her peaceful life and pushing her repressed dark emotions to the brink of explosion. Naoko Ogigami departs from her previous healing imagery style, sharply unveiling the oppressive realities faced by Japanese women through themes of earthquake radiation, environmental care, disability, and religious faith, employing a thriller touch. Mariko Tsutsui expertly captures the despair and sorrow of a housewife, culminating in a stunning final dance for herself and for women seeking self-redemption.
