Night Train was the entry film of Japanese filmmaker Aya Kawazoe at Tokyo University of Arts, where she got admitted and studied cinema under the supervision of Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Her first grade film Humongous! (2020) got selected for the Critics' Week in Cannes. Night Train is the adaptation of a homonymous comic book by Gin Miyoshi, whom the filmmaker admires. Although the style of the book is quite simple, the filmmaker's mise-en-scène is totally phantasmatic. Following the protagonist, a girl who looks like a ghost floating between reality and a dream, we will lose the other world created by the filmmaker. The texture of the film and the sensation of the light create an experimental and cinematographic poetry. Aya Kawazoe's cinema goes beyond the context of the story and the character's dialogues, concentrating primarily on the image and the sound. It finally introduces to us the fundamental question: What is cinema?
