Twenty years later, filmmaker Lucille Carra undertook a parallel trip inspired by Richie\u0027s by-then-classic book, capturing images of hushed beauty and meeting people who still carried on the fading customs that Richie had observed. Interspersed with surprising detours-a visit to a Frank Sinatra-loving monk, a leper colony, an ersatz temple of plywood and plaster-and woven together by Richie\u0027s narration as well as a score by celebrated composer Toru Takemitsu, The Inland Sea is an eye-opening voyage and a profound meditation on what it means to be a foreigner.","wins":2,"nominations":null,"casts":[{"name":"Donald Richie","code":"nm0724980","characters":"Narrator"},{"name":"Keijo Hasegawa","code":"nm11602906","characters":"Self - buddhist Priest (Shodoshima)"},{"name":"Akira Hamada","code":"nm0357249","characters":"Self - Calligraphy Writer (Yashima)"},{"name":"Tasuya Hatanaka","code":"nm11602907","characters":"Self - Young Fisherman (Shodoshima)"},{"name":"Fujie Ozawa","code":"nm11602908","characters":"Self - Newspaper Delivery Lady"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[{"text":"tokyo japan"},{"text":"black and white segment"},{"text":"inland sea"},{"text":"temple"},{"text":"reference to audrey hepburn"}],"production":[],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[{"code":"tt0057495","title":"Shock Corridor"},{"code":"tt0217853","title":"Town Bloody Hall"},{"code":"tt28490873","title":"Ryuichi Sakamoto: Opus"},{"code":"tt0053106","title":"Letter Never Sent"},{"code":"tt1691152","title":"David Lynch: The Art Life"},{"code":"tt0391483","title":"Take Out"},{"code":"tt0067961","title":"Wanda"},{"code":"tt0052893","title":"Hiroshima Mon Amour"},{"code":"tt0048452","title":"Ordet"},{"code":"tt0040525","title":"The Lady from Shanghai"},{"code":"tt0102307","title":"Light Sleeper"},{"code":"tt5375040","title":"Cameraperson"}]}
