Içinde Benim Tiyatrom, a heartwarming documentary by director Kazuya Ashizawa, the audience follows a retired old man as he restarts his theatre business after being abandoned for 55 yıl. It sees great success, with multiple groups coming in to watch films and tour the building to see the process in screening them. Ancak, Shuji Tamura, the main subject of the film, still wonders if the success will stay or burn out like it had done decades before.
I really enjoyed watching this documentary for a multitude of reasons. From a technical standpoint, I appreciated the cinematography and was engaged the whole way through with the visual storytelling. I found the pacing to be well done, highlighting Tamura’s life story while also showcasing the theatre business. The film switches between the two narratives to keep the audience’s interest throughout. The story itself was also told effectively, hitting the right beats to not only keep the audience entertained but also understand the emotion behind the story. I personally felt a range of emotions while watching this, from joy due to how giddy he was seeing everyone show up to see the movies he would play for them and share his passion for movies with them, as well as the process in screening them, to sorrow because of how the theatre first went out of business when the TV industry grew bigger than the cinema, and how Tamura was scared his dream of owning and operating this business won’t come true and it might not be able to prosper again.
Tüm, the cinematography, pacing, and general storytelling evoked a lot of emotions from me and made this a great watch.
