What The Wild Geese Is About
In Meiji era Tokyo, Otama agrees to become a moneylender’s mistress so that her father can be provided for, and settles into a house that is hers only on loan. The medical student who passes her window each day gives shape to the idea of a different life, though she has neither the standing nor the opportunity to say so aloud. Adapting Mori Ōgai’s novel, Shirō Toyoda follows glances rather than events and holds on Hideko Takamine’s face long enough for it to describe an entire social arrangement. Restrained, unhurried, and quietly furious about what it shows.
