Norwegian Wood: The Cinematography


IMDb Synopsis: "Toru recalls his life in the 1960s, when his friend Kizuki killed himself and he grew close to Naoko, Kizuki's girlfriend, and another woman, the outgoing, lively Midori."

Though it originally premiered in 2010, this film wasn't released in the U.S. until earlier this year. I just watched (and loved) it, and the cinematography is exquisite. For that alone, I had to plug it here. Oh, and Jonny Greenwood even contributes a haunting score, if you're interested.

More after the cut.













Check out Jonny Greenwood's terrific score:
