\u201cI\u2019ll fly in my own way.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

University senior, Tomoko Miura longs to be a film director but help is in short supply as her curt attitude and selfishness pushes people away. Driving her is an inferiority complex linked to her recently-deceased \u201cperfect\u201d older sister. Fed up with failure, Tomoko decides to “retake” her life as if it were a movie. The next take will start with a leap from a bridge…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask for the Moon<\/em> plays out like It\u2019s a Wonderful Life<\/em> (1946) by way of an unhinged wannabe-movie director who gets repeated takes on her life (and death). It goes through multiple iterations of suicide and supernatural intervention to push a tale of self-discovery with a slight mystery and it has a visual playfulness and boisterous acting that undercuts the darkness and poignancy that dog the film through its rough, though sympathy-earning, lead protagonist.
