Hikikomori. A Deafening Silence
July 12, 2013
50m
Documentary
Overview
A calm, empathetic documentary film about hikikomori—mostly young, male social recluses in Japan—and their way back into society through the help of institutions. The film very unobtrusively tries to find out about its protagonists' motives for withdrawing from society and gives an interesting and insightful glimpse into this cultural phenomenon.
Directed by: David Beautru, Dorothée Lorang
