The solitude and serenity of a Japanese beach in winter

Together, and yet very much alone, as the tide slowly came in.

    Strange – reminded me of the closing scene in Hana-Bi. Hopefully this had a better ending.

      True. Also a bit like A scene at the sea (Also Kitano). Same about the ending 🙂

        Interesting. I haven’t got round to watching either yet, so even more reason to do so now.

    It is also very much like the closing scene from the 1969 film Goyokin.

    Indeed, very Kitano-like shot! I do like the winter coat of the woman, very typical

      Yes, once it gets a bit cold, those large, quilt-like coats come out. They do look warm though.
