Synopsis

The villagers in a beautiful remote area of Japan are divided into the woodsmen, who worship the mountain goddess, and the fishermen, who worship the goddess of the sea.

These traditions are threatened by a planned marine park.

Tatsuo is a macho lumberjack who hunts boars and monkeys with the young Ryota.

Tatsuo is married with two children, has four elder sisters, and is under pressure to sell the family land to the developers.

When the fish pens are deliberately contaminated by oil, the fishermen suspect Tatsuo.

Kimiko, an old girlfriend of Tatsuo, returns to the village to find money to pay off her debts.

During the annual fire festival, Tatsuo becomes angry when the old traditions are not preserved.

The emotional depth and complexity of the characters in the film are enhanced by the evocative soundtrack of Les Feux d'Himatsuri. The music skillfully underscores the internal struggles of Tatsuo as he grapples with family obligations, societal pressures, and personal desires. Each musical cue serves to deepen the audience's understanding of the characters and their motivations, creating a rich and immersive viewing experience.

The use of traditional Japanese instruments in the soundtrack felt forced and out of place at times. It did not seamlessly blend with the modern elements of the story and took away from the overall immersion in the film.

The soundtrack of Les Feux d'Himatsuri beautifully captures the essence of the remote Japanese village setting, with traditional instruments and melodies that transport the listener to a world of ancient rituals and folklore. The music perfectly conveys the deep connection between the villagers and their respective goddesses, adding a layer of authenticity to the storytelling.

I found the soundtrack of Les Feux d'Himatsuri to be lacking in emotional depth. The music did not effectively convey the tension and conflict between the woodsmen and the fishermen in the story.
