How Jim O'Rourke's 'Eureka' Set Aoyama Shinji's 〈Eureka〉 in Motion

How Jim O'Rourke's 'Eureka' Set Aoyama Shinji's 〈Eureka〉 in Motion

I am drawn to music in film. At times, music reveals a character's private emotions in ways images and dialogue cannot. It can also open a window into a creator’s hidden intent. For me, understanding film music was one way into the film itself. "Chu A-young's Music Box" listens closely to a film’s voice through its music. (P.S. I hope you listen to the music while you read.)
Director Aoyama Shinji's film 〈Eureka〉 is a road movie about wounded people who travel an endless road in search of the possibility of healing and renewal. The characters, survivors of a terror that shattered ordinary life, set out on a trip to escape the trauma of the incident.
