剧情介绍
"Your father passed away. Give us a call immediately." The message in Kawase's cell phone informs her of her father's death.
More than a year has passed since his death. Also 8 years since Embracing in which Kawase took a camera to film her journey to find her father. She watches Embracing with her friends as if she mourns her father's death, departure from her father. Watching, throughout the film, the repetitive, momentary interviews of people who were involved with him before his death as well as her real mother and her grandmother, Kawase bears unfocused and disconsolate feelings.
All of a sudden, she gets an idea of having a tattoo, the same tattoo her father had through his life, so as to, she thinks, discover the family bond, and then she visits a tattoo artist. The story accelerates from here, and brings the audience to the climax. Is this really a documentary or fiction? Despite this confusion, the film goes on and asks us, "What is love for you?"
At the Locarno International Film Festival in 2001, the film was highly praised for her original film style, the mixed form of documentary and fiction, in which her deep loneliness is realistically presented. The film has been shown more than 30 countries, and now its distribution right, after being produced and screened by ARTE France along with some other films by, for example, Sokurov, has been terminated, and the film will be screened in Japan.
This is a must-see, as of today, Kawase's culmination as an auteur. The title Kya Ka Ra Ba A is a Buddhist term, kya - the sky, ka - wind, ra - fire, ba - water, and a - earth, all of which, altogether, means the world composed of those elements.

河濑直美的影像过于真诚,以至于只要稍微偏离回忆和内心就会显得造作。比如这部中的前半段很好,就是《拥抱》的延续,但后面纹身那段真的有点太私人太作。

[想看:2007-07-31]标了想看十年后终于看掉了,算是[拥抱]9年后的续集,依然是私电影路子,婆婆也出来客串(还第N次用到了[蜗牛]里面的画面) 。有[萌之朱雀]戛纳颁奖的一段镜头。后面那一大段纹身戏够狠。
