Captivating

I am not well versed in the japanese art of ukiyo-e or in Hokusai's life itself, and I don't know how historically accurate the movie is, but disregarding that, I greatly enjoyed the portrayal of Hokusai as a person, whether romanticized or not.As someone having an "artistic" profession, there is so much I could relate to my own experience. The self-doubt, the jalousy, the constant quest for inspiration. It's something that touches every generation of artists.I also thoroughly enjoyed the sets and costumes from Edo Japan. The directing was very efficient, with a few inventive scenes that were quite impactful.The only things I'd criticize were some of the dialogues feeling a little too unnatural as well as a slow pace that might leave some specators behind, even for a movie that's only 90 min long.
