Two younger Japanese women in 1950s-style clothing face each other in profile against a bright blue sky with scattered clouds. The woman on the left wears a pale pink striped short-sleeve blouse and has dark curly hair with a decorative clip. The woman on the right has dark hair in an elegant updo and wears a soft pink short-sleeve dress with a patterned scarf tied loosely around her neck. Both women wear white gloves and rest their hands on a dark wooden railing

About A Pale View Of Hills

A poignant tale of loss and exile under the shadow of the Nagasaki bomb, Kazuo Ishiguro’s 1982 novel makes a classy transition to the screen.

Desperate to understand her family’s history in Japan before her birth, Niki questions her mother about her time in Nagasaki. Spanning two timelines and lightly excavating the author’s own family history and cultural heritage, this is a moving and hopeful account of the generational impact of war. Camilla Aiko gives a compelling performance as the truth seeker, who is our guide through a murky past.
