About this product

Product Information

Ken Takakura (THE YAKUZA) gives a career-redefining performance as an old fisherman in RIDING ALONE FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES. Estranged from his son for many years, Gou-ichi (Takakura) receives an unexpected call from his daughter-in-law, Rie (Shinobu Terajima), asking him to come to Tokyo to visit his son, Ken-ichi (Kiichi Nakai), who is in the hospital suffering from a stomach ailment. Gou-ichi decides to make the trip against his better judgment, but when he arrives, his son refuses to see him as he is still bearing the scars of the unspoken reasons why they were torn apart. Determined to reunite them, Rie gives Gou-ichi a videotape of an article Ken-ichi wrote about Li Jiamin, a Chinese folk opera master from Yunnan Province. Ken-ichi had promised Li that he would come back and film him performing "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles," an opera based on one of the stories in the literary classic ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS; Gou-ichi makes it his mission to travel to southern China, find Li, and film the performance himself. With the help of tour guides Lingo (Qiu Lin) and Jasmine (Jiang Wen)--and a fabulous interval with young Yang Yang (Yang Zhenbo)--Gou-ichi takes off to the great unknown, trying to do right by the son who still appears to hate him. Takakura plays the old man with a quiet, dignified demeanor, moving slowly and barely speaking at all. Zhang Yimou (HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS, RAISE THE RED LANTERN) directs the film simply and beautifully, allowing the fascinating characters and compelling story to develop at a natural, alluring pace. This very different kind of road picture is sincere and emotional, with a playful sense of humor. Be sure to bring plenty of hankies.

  • Buy It For The Title, Love It For The Content

    Nobody gets shot or calls each other bad names and it leave you with a heart full of people you thought might be very different. Buy cheap and circulate it among people you like. There a couple of scenes you will remember always and, perhaps, watch the movie still one more time. Can you tell this was no accidental purchase?

  • Riding Home is a great movie about a man trying to make peace with his son.

    This is an excellent movie about a dad who wants to reunite with his extranged son who is dying from cancer. The dad takes a journey to visit his son...trying to obtain a gift for him...and this is what the movie focuses on. Along the way, the dad meets several people...who all help him realize the importance of loving. The acting is excellent, the plot will hold your attention throughout.

  • Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles

    This is a very good story with excellent values. Not many stars, but great cast with a very down to earth feel. After viewing it, I gave it to my daughter who has spent time in Japan. Great character acting and reality of trying to come to grips with estrangement of family members, and then the difficulty of being the only person in a totally new language group.
