His Motorbike, Her Island

“The only thing that's not boring is riding a motorcycle.”

Ko (Riki Takeuchi) rides through the Japanese countryside with no particular place to be, until he meets Miyo (Kiwako Harada), a local girl who seems to have nowhere she needs to be either. He teaches her to ride, and she takes to it faster than anyone should, which is the first thing that frightens him. Nobuhiko Obayashi lets the film slip between black-and-white and color, and Ko starts to believe she is headed for a crash.
