Sawako 5 years living in Tokyo, where he often humiliating positions with the secretary and lives with her fifth boyfriend, his superior, and the daughter he had from a previous marriage. Hers is an existence of resignation. His recurring phrase is "shōgaganai", or "patience", "we want to do so." When he learns that his father is seriously ill, does not want to return to his country as it should, but in the end you get from his companion, who has since been fired and would like to start over. The parent company has a small collection and marketing of shellfish in the river and Sawako should take his place at the helm, but when it tries to do, meet only problems, misunderstandings, inganni.Una old school even steals her boyfriend . But, as the title of the movie - "Greetings from the bottom of the river" - hit rock bottom that you can not go back and Sawako realizes that people like you do not receive anything from anyone and can only engage in short, "that helped Heaven help you. " His recurring phrase becomes "gambaru" "Let's do it." His transformation is sometimes awkward, sometimes inappropriate, but unstoppable, until, at the funeral of his father, unable to furiously angry with her boyfriend who returns to her: Sawako finally chooses and decides!
Sawako is crushed by life's not a loser but rather is a person who has no confidence in herself, who do not know their own means, was negative for fear, mediocre by instinct. His resignation is a realistic, a defense to be able to move forward despite adversity.
If the story is interesting and touching, its representation is no exception, with iconoclast ever found an end in themselves. For example, a small recurring theme is that of faeces. The film begins in a doctor's office with a lavender colon, or Sawako talk to colleagues sitting down on the toilet, or, Sawako spreads the feces of the family garden as fertilizer. Out of that land so manured born of flowers and a large watermelon, which in the end everyone will eat with gusto. As if to say, life is often a shit, but sometimes that shit can be born from a flower or something sweet.
Ishii has a highly original narrative approach and appears to have been able to smooth some rough style present in his earlier films, such as Nippo Mukidashi n (Bare-assed Japan), managing to give the film a pleasure to be looked beyond the results of the same story. With remarkable sensitivity and inventiveness, outlines the portrait of this humble figure in a delicate but not sad, funny but not superficial, sometimes surreal but never absurd. This result helps greatly in the role of Hikaru Mitsuhsima Sawako, although that is not fascinating, it is amazing the support upon himself almost the entire film. [FP]
