End. Start a chronic this term might seem paradoxical. Yet that is what is at stake in Kaze no Garden : when the end comes, what are we left to be done? What can or should be our last words, our past actions?
Sadam Shiratori (Kiichi Nakai), anesthesiologist deemed discovers a cancer cure. Seven years earlier, her infidelity he lost his wife and two children and led to his being banished by his own father. Upon hearing the news of his illness, Saddam sees himself irresistibly impelled by the desire to see his family, as a return to basics after a life full of lightness. Although discreet about his condition, colleagues, friends, lovers are quick to rush around him, but none are able to offer Saddam what he wants in the twilight of his life. And besides, what is it: comfort, redemption, absolution? Without doubt, deep in his heart, he hopes some of that, but it needs to find his family seem to touch to something more primal. All constructs a life, professional or personal, with a radicalism fade before striking the irrepressible desire to live these moments, so precious because they are last, with his flesh and blood, it was even without their knowledge. This sentiment is beautifully distilled viewers, with this mixture of finesse and determination to own (good) drama.
is also one of the qualities of this series, touching but not maudlin, to know his subject with a restraint never faulted. One might be shocked at the lack of emphasis à la douleur liée à un cancer en phase terminale, qui se trouve plus souvent évoquée que réellement montrée. On évite cependant ici l'écueil d'un voyeurisme malsain pour se concentrer sur les réflexions évoquées plus haut : d'un passé infâmant à la privation brutale de son avenir, que reste-il à Shiratori Sadami ? Parce qu'il atteint le terme de sa vie, le personnage principal se trouve mis à nu et obligé de s'interroger sur ce qui importe fondamentalement dans une existence. C'est sa réponse à ce questionnement qu'il fait partager intimement aux téléspectateurs.
Kaze no Garden ne se veut pas un documentaire the end of life, but a family drama and an object of reflection on our achievements and our values in relation to our own mortality. This invitation to take the time to pause and reflect on ourselves is even more persuasive than this drama is set in a beautiful and soothing. Far from sinking into a gloomy and morbid atmosphere, this drama refers instead to a delightful rustic, dotted with scenes of great beauty. Furthermore, I will limit my criticism about the slow pace of this series, punctuated by moments but never faced a peaceful journey voluntarily. There is an obvious paradox to give du temps pour raconter l'histoire d'un homme auquel il en reste si peu.
Parlant de cet homme, il faut noter la très bonne prestation de Nakai Kiichi pour tenir ce rôle de séducteur vieillissant, d'un courage discret et d'une détermination seulement freinée par la honte de ses actes passés. Ogata Ken (Shiratori Keizo), dont ce fut le dernier rôle avant de décéder lui-même d'un cancer 4 jours avant la diffusion de Kaze no Garden , incarne avec une grande délicatesse ce grand-père dévoué et compatissant, obligé à une fermeté qui ne demande qu'à s'effacer devant l'amour et le pardon pour son fils prodigue. Kuroki Meisa (Shiratori Rui), meanwhile, continues its progress towards a quality of interpretation that should see it becoming an actress whose physique does not outweigh talent. Finally, we must acknowledge the superb performance of Ryunosuke Kamiki (Shiratori Gaku) that embodies a truth confusing a young boy with a mild autism. Clearly Kaze no Garden belongs to what, to my taste, is better as a drama series, especially for intelligence and authenticity of his story and the modesty of his salary. As an opportunity to drink our thinking at the source of our emotions ...
