Just opened an account to write this comment. I didn't expect the characters to take a role in this film so I was totally blown away when Kafka & Crow entered the scene. It totally captered the dreamy Murakami vibe and I felt like I was finally watching the movie I have been waiting for for a long time. The snippets with Nakata and Miss Saeki had a class of its own. Thank you very much for this magical piece of art.

Kafka on the shore was the fist book I read by Murakami. It introduced me to a whole new level of books. I used to read mainly fantasy or YA, but ever since I found out about Murakami, I have been reading all his books as well as more adult fiction. He's the beast at creating surrealistic worlds and his stories make you think at a deeper level. They don't just trap you in, but make you get lost in each of the characters' world. Murakami's books are masterpieces. Btw this documentary is so amazing, very professionally made and the narration is so soothing and relaxing. I loved it!. Greetings from Mexico

Check out Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre. Written in the 1930's, I think it may have been some inspiration for Murakami's book. If not, they deal with a lot of the same ideas! Also, Wind Up Bird Chronicles if you haven't read em. Oohwee. Still my favorite book ever

Salih, for me this excellent video has helped to pull together some of the Kafka story. The Spirit Lives are the things of dreams and memories and wishes. They can drift around inside the Limbo, they may meet other Spirits along the way, and then we come out in a whole new place with more understanding. Thanks for your work.

I cannot stop thinking about this book. It left me sad and nostalgic about something i don't have... Of course I have my pain my past my unresolved answers as every human being. I could relate with both Miss Saeki and Kafka... But to be honest i could relate with Hoshino and also Nakata. With Oshima's depth of thought... It's like each character is a split of consciousness... Just like the white beam in Nakata's mouth at the end of the book. But it left me sad and with a half shadow... Human beings are so complicated yet so simple and easily brokenhearted... We look for something eternally and that something will never get to us, so you keep on living, hoping for one day to meet that person, to complete that missing piece of puzzle, to understand why you ended up the way you are in this moment in time. Point is you don't need to explain this book. This book is like the wind on dunes on sand. It keeps blowing and moving those grains to indefinite directions... Because life is like that, it's unpredictable and you have to follow that path, confused and lost until you, yourself, try to make the best out of it. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't and when your life culminates, you can finally rest and your memories will fade or can be put in a room somewhere no one needs to know.

Beautifully done. I’m deeply moved, not only by what you have done, but also by the amount of work and thought you have put into this. Thank you very much! It feels strange to discover that something you thought belonged to you alone, that only you can understand it the way it must be understood, is suddenly placed in front of you as something that many love just as much and in which many can lose themselves just as you can. Now I am no longer alone, and the loss of specialness is more than outweighed by the happiness that others feel as I do.

BTW: The Wind-up Bird Chronicles was my first Murakami. Are you planning to make a video about it some day?

«Listen up-there’s no war that will end all wars,’ Crow tells me. ‘War breeds war. Lapping up the blood shed by violence, feeding on wounded flesh. War is a perfect, self-contained being. You need to know that.» I started reading this book a long time ago, but I put it down to come back to it at the right times. They came for me in the dark evenings of the blackout that has been going on in Ukraine since October due to the war started by Russia. Earlier, in relatively peaceful times (relatively, because back in 2014 Russia invaded the territory of Ukraine and keeps its troops there), I was not interested in historical flashbacks, but now they resonate with me. Apparently, Murakami, describing the wars of the past, did not even imagine that in 20 years something so bloody would break out in the very heart of Europe. While reading this book, I didn't try to find answers to any questions, although «Kafka on the shore» made me think about the fate - my own, humanity's... It is so unusual to watch something invisible become visible; emerges to the surface to lead me further by the hand. If there hadn't been a war, a blackout, I might never have finished reading «Kafka on the shore». And if I had read it earlier, I might never have seen this documentary.

I don’t really want to pop anyone’s bubble of love with this documentary, but it does not do justice to this surrealist novel. For example, Ms Seaki is not the owner of the library, which is at least a century older than the one in this film. Her lost boyfriend family’s owns the library. The library here was not built when the painting of Kafka on the shore near the library. They don’t have an encounter on the beach, Ms Seaki comes to his room and invites him to see where the painting was painted, then they return to his room and make love. Nakata never claims that he can make anything rain from the sky, things just rain from the sky. I am currently reading the novel for the third time in English and the first time in French. While there are many analyses available of this novel on KZbin, in my opinion, the most insightful is “Kafka on the Shore: In a Subliminal Colony, A Literary Analysis,” that puts the novel and author into historical and Japanese literary perspective. This book is best thought of as a dream, a sweet dream. Dream on…

Thanks for the comment and sorry for the late reply (just wanted to take time for it). The main "problem" is that I do not own the rights of this novel and once I start a reproduction (and not an analysis, as this is more of a tribute to the book), I have to make slight changes. On top of it, I had to rely on some stock footage as I have quoted in the disclaimer. Researching of matching footage took hours, so therefore I had to make compromises here and there. I also love the analysis that you have quoted, Mountains of Books made a very good job there - I have permanently linked it at the end of another Kafka on the shore video I made last year: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmnTZ3d-l62KaJo
