If you missed Yuumi Kawai's visit this weekend, you can still catch her on the big screen tonight as part of TEKI COMETH—“A black-and-white character study about a retired college professor that effectively bridges the gap between Yasujiro Ozu and David Lynch" (@IndieWire).
Adapting an unfilmable novel, TEKI COMETH relays the quotidian life of a retired professor, which is one day interrupted by an ominous message: an enemy is coming. Daihachi Yoshida's latest work melts into paranoia, delusion and fantasy. Screens 7/14: japansoc.org/Teki
