Movie
Winter Days, Kihachirō Kawamoto, 2003

Este é um filme que junta alguns dos mais importantes realizadores de filmes de animação do mundo, numa viagem poética em torno da poesia desse viajante da vida e da natureza que foi Bashô. Logo à cabeça e a abrir, o grande Yuriy Norshteyn, autor de dois dos mais belos filmes de animação de todos os tempos e que anda há mais de vinte anos a fazer um filme sobre o Capote de Gogol, para o qual o dinheiro tem faltado e as últimas notícias que tive de alguém que priva com ele é que um apoio finaceiro que existia também acabou, pelo que Yuriy Norstein se vê, no momento presente, em dificuldades financeiras. Só ele já enchia e regalava os olhos! Mas vêm outros, num desfile de qualidade que não termina:vou só referenciar os que conheço melhor e gosto mais, tais como o organizador e o espírito deste encontro mágico, Kihachirō Kawamoto, um grande realizador e que estudou com o enorme Jiří Trnka e tem um filme, baseado no particular e fundamental escritor Kōbō Abe, que aconselho a todas as pessoas, A Poet's Life (詩人の生涯 Shijin no Shōgai, 1974, 19 min., from a story by Kōbō Abe) ; os especiais universos de Raoul Servais e Břetislav Pojar; a técnica espantosa de pintura em vidro de Aleksandr Petrov, que tem um filme incrível The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (Russian: Сон смешного человека Son smeshnovo cheloveka) baseado numa história de Dostoievski e que, ao que parece, também anda a lutar com dificuldades financeiras; o imenso
Kōji Yamamura de quem saliento o belíssimo Franz Kafka: Ein Landarzt (A Country Doctor); Isao Takahata com o seu belíssimo e pacifista filme Grave of the Fireflies; Jacques Drouin, um dos raros realizadores a usar a técnica dificílima do pinscreen animation inventada pelos imensos Alexandre Alexeïeff e a sua mulher Claire Parker; bem um opíparo manjar das múltiplas técnicas de animação com a delicadeza, enigmática e terrena, dos poemas de Basho.

Winter Days (冬の日 Fuyu no Hi) is a 2003 Japanese anime film directed by Kihachirō Kawamoto. It is based on one of the renku (collaborative linked poems) in the 1684 collection of the same name by the 17th-century Japanese poet Bashō.
The creation of the film followed the traditional collaborative nature of the source material – the visuals for each of the 36 stanzas were independently created by 35 different animators. As well as many Japanese animators, Kawamoto assembled leading names of animation from across the world. Each animator was asked to contribute at least 30 seconds to illustrate their stanza, and most of the sequences are under a minute (Yuriy Norshteyn's, though, is nearly two minutes long).

The released film consists of the 40-minute animation, followed by an hour-long 'Making of' documentary, including interviews with the animators. Winter Days won the Grand Prize of the Japan Media Arts Festival in 2003.

Bashō's hokku, or opening verse, of the 36-verse poem:

(kyôku)
kogarashi no
mi wa chikusai ni
nitaru kana (Crazy verse)
In the withering wind
it is Chikusai
whom I resemble!


Norshteyn animated the opening stanza (hokku) as the special guest (kyaku). Chikusai is running around listening to trees, and meets Bashō. He's awed, but is amused to see that Bashō is picking bugs out of a cloak that is as torn as his own. He gives Bashō his own hat in exchange for Bashō's (which has a gaping hole at the top) and goes away. Suddenly, the wind picks up and blows the torn hat away. Chikusai chases after it and manages to catch it, but then with a shrug lets it go and allows it to fly off wherever the wind will take it. Meanwhile, Bashō is moving slowly and laboriously against the wind, with a hand on his new hat to keep it from flying away.

Speaking at the November 30, 2007 Russian theatrical premiere of Winter Days, Norshteyn said that he had made a longer, 3-minute version of this segment, but had not yet added sound to it.
Kawamoto animated the second (waki) and final (ageku) stanzas as the organiser (shōshō).
