Straddling two time periods and several very different women, Kei Ishikawa’s A Pale View of Hills gives viewers a lot to chew on. It aims to be both a snapshot at a very specific moment in history and an exploration of motherhood, the impact of war, and grief. When I caught it at the Toronto International Film Festival, I very much wanted to enjoy it, but something held me back from connecting completely.
