河瀨直美繼《光》(第14屆)之後，再一次把故事的舞台設於家鄉奈良，寄寓自然既是生命的開端，也是生命的歸宿。茱麗葉庇洛仙飾演法國女作家，遠渡來到奈良吉野的深山，尋找傳說中能解除人類內心痛苦、一千年只出現一次的神秘植物，途中她認識居於深山、只有獵犬相伴的守山人智、長居森林的老婦、還有後來突然在智面前出現的神秘青年。河瀨直美以一貫不徐不疾而幽靜的運鏡，把森林的美態拍得纖毫畢現，流水落葉，遠處的鹿鳴，一幕幕治癒人心的風景和聲音，隱藏著命運的一張大網，把故事中的人物巧妙地串連在這座森林。

After hitting it off at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, arthouse favorite Kawase Naomi and French actress Juliette Binoche came together for the ethereal Vision. Set in the auteur’s home prefecture of Nara, the meditative drama intersects the mysticism of nature with human nature. French essayist Jeanne travels to Japan in search of a rare medicinal herb that is said to rid spiritual pain and weakness. In Mount Yoshino, she encounters a man who gave up city life to become a forest keeper, a blind woman who sees with her heart, and other mysterious people and visions of the past and present.
