影片介绍
福岛核灾疏散区里一个荒废的交通十字路口,红绿灯正亮着红色,这个地方充斥着某种超现实之感。在已经回到原先禁制区的少数人家中,一切彷佛一如往常,有水有电,甚至有收讯正常的电视机。一对老年夫妇似乎毫无担忧地吃着自己花园种植的蔬菜,另一对夫妇则是不管到哪都手持着辐射侦测器。
而著名的“最后一位福岛居民”,则是从核灾后便持续留在福岛,喂食那些被遗弃在此的动物们。像纪录片中的其他人一样,他选择在他所爱的土地上过着和平的生活,接受一切辐射风险。
这部带着怀旧之情的电影,跟随着这些勇敢的移居者,以及面对着“究竟是否该回去”这种艰难选择的其他人进行拍摄,年轻人感到害怕,而老年人则是没有选择。在日本的文化中,与自己的家园分离,要比身体疾病来得致命。这种亲密的场景不禁让人省思,在时间缓慢推移的过程中,一个遭逢灾难后的城市,究竟如何能恢复生机?
At a deserted junction in the evacuated zone around the Fukushima nuclear power station, the traffic lights are red. There's an element of the surreal about this place. Everything seems normal in the homes of the few people who have returned : there's running water, electricity, even the TV works. Unconcerned, an elderly couple eats vegetables from their own garden, although another couple won't move an inch without measuring the radioactivity.
According to the "show, don't tell" principle, we meet another inhabitant without commentary: the famous "last man of Fukushima," who stayed behind after the disaster to feed the abandoned animals. Like the others who feature in the documentary, he has chosen to live a peaceful life on the land he loves, and accepts the risks.
This nostalgic film follows the courageous settlers and hard choices of others who are supposed to return to the Zone. Young people are afraid, the elderly have no choice : in Japanese culture severing ties with one's native soil and home is more lethal than a disease of the body. The intimate scenes leave one to contemplate in the slow passage of time how a post-apocalyptic city can be brought back to life.
