‘Silver Express’ Review: Miki Tanaka’s Sensitive Debut Feature
Miki Tanaka’s debut feature, "Silver Express," explores the experiential realities of living as an asexual and aromantic person in a heteronormative society. The gentle character study stars Yui Okamoto as Chieri, navigating everyday annoyances and well-meaning pressures from others. The film focuses on the linguistic and emotional gaps in communicating asexuality on a spectrum. Through understated storytelling and evocative metaphors, it challenges societal conditioning around coupledom and belonging.
