川濑爱居住在东京郊外宁静的住宅区内。多年前她和丈夫以及女儿美和三人生活在一起。后来，丈夫死于广岛的核爆，而美和则在20岁时离家出走。4年后美和突然回家，在产下一女夏来后带着母子手册又失踪了。爱独自抚养外孙女并坚持寻找美和。24年后，派出所突然来联系爱，说是所拘捕的一名幼女拐带犯身上带着美和的母子手册，女犯人名叫尾上正子，是一名失忆症患者。虽然爱并不确定正子就是美和，但她从美国招回了夏来，带上正子三人一同前往美和的出生地广岛，正子渐渐地开始恢复记忆…… 　　本片是第55届戛纳电影节的特别招待作品。从60年代开始就不断出产话题作品的吉田导演时隔14年重执导筒，在经过长达8年的制作后，推出了这部以广岛核爆炸为主题的作品。吉田认为自己“没有再现原子弹爆炸场面的资格，但有权描绘因核爆而死去的人的故事”，因为他的母亲就是核爆炸的受害者。导演选择了以女性的视角来切入这个主题，以让人预料不到的开端淡淡地展开故事，但是这样一来显得过于迂回，虽然亲情和女性的力量十分感人，也导致预定的主题显得并不鲜明。同时，影片画面优美却被指责冗长沉闷。从总体来说，这一部是具有特色的亲情战争主题片。

A struggling country singer meets a Nashville songwriter in need of inspiration. Teaming up to write a song, their work gets complicated but results in both a hit song...and true love.

Director Idrissa Ouedraogo's sixth feature, The Cry of the Heart, takes us on a journey with strangers to a strange land, and shows us that demons, even if only imagined, can be devastatingly real. Sometimes, love and understanding aren't enough, and there are occasions when it takes the aid of an outsider to fight that single, decisive battle. 　　Moctar was born in France, but it is his "home" in name only. At age five, he and his mother, Saffi, had to move to Africa when Ibrahim, Moctar's father, could no longer afford to feed three mouths. Now, after years of separation, the family is reunited in France. But Moctar is suffering culture shock. He wants to return to Africa; everything about Europe seems wrong. Then he begins seeing a hyena roaming the streets of Paris, appearing in some of the most unexpected places. Since "there are no hyenas in France", everyone thinks he's hallucinating, with one exception: Paulo, a man Moctar meets on the streets, who sees in the boy a chance for atonement. 　　The Cry of the Heart has a tremendous gallery of characters participating in a deceptively simple tale that touches on a universal fear of the unknown. Moctar's hyena in obviously an allegorical figure, and his struggles represent an externalized war against the unfamiliar. Meanwhile, Paulo is battling to redeem himself by proving that isolated incidents in his past do not define the sum of his personality. 　　Ouedraogo handles his principal characters with a deft hand. Rarely is a husband-and-wife relationship portrayed with the genuine sense of affection and passion shown here, and the pair's concern for their troubled son is equally believable. This is toned-down and touching drama, not melodrama, and, along the way, we're treated to enough moments of levity to keep The Cry of the Heart from becoming needlessly somber. 　　Often, simple movies are the most stirring and emotionally-satisfying. Such is the case with The Cry of the Heart. It's an impressive motion picture because it touches on so many issues without appearing to do much at all. It can be enjoyed on many levels, from the deeply symbolic to the strictly realistic. However, regardless of what else an individual gleans from this film, the story of a family struggling to connect and communicate is likely to strike a responsive chord.
