Our take

A mod film-within-a-film that wears the influence of the European New Wave—think Yoshida does Bergman!— Confessions Among Actresses is a tribute to three great performers, including Yoshida’s regular collaborator (and wife) Mariko Okada. A powerful look at the ties between trauma and the cinema.
