{"product_id":"715515233316","title":"The Inland Sea (DVD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1971, author and film scholar Donald Richie published a poetic travelogue about his explorations of the islands of Japan’s Inland Sea, recording his search for traces of a traditional way of life as well as his own journey of self-discovery. Twenty years later, filmmaker Lucille Carra undertook a parallel trip inspired by Richie’s 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—visits to a Frank Sinatra–loving monk, a leper colony, an ersatz temple of plywood and plaster—and woven together by Richie’s 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cinema 1 Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44894788812879,"sku":"715515233316","price":21.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/cinema1.ca\/products\/715515233316","provider":"Cinema 1 Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
