to the ends of the earth

Seldom do films have as significant a catalyst as Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s beguiling To the Ends of the Earth. Commissioned to celebrate twenty-five years of diplomatic relations between Japan and Uzbekistan and the seventy year anniversary of the gorgeous Navoi Theater, the story takes place in and around Tashkent, capital of Uzbekistan, as a Japanese TV crew gathers footage.
