TV Film Golden Award: Welcome Home, SWR, Germany

Comments;
The frustration of the returning soldier is well captured and the introduction of an older woman doctor who serves as the intimate guide for the soldier is well developed. The performance is good and the film resonates,


TV Film Silver Award: Ah, You Are Really Gone Now, Tokyo Broadcasting System. Inc, Japan

Comment:
A love story from Japan told over many years. The film captures the relationship of this couple and the ultimate death of the wife.
Seen through the husband’s eyes, this movie is warm and naturalistic and well thought out.

An interesting, original and surprising story of revenge and greed.
A story about the complexity of human nature told through the eyes of a woman.,who in the end gets what she wants, or does she?
