"For having been able to tell classic Japanese cinema through a skilful use of the camera. Being able to draw black and white images that reflect the mood of the protagonists. In a complete short film, where the actors are able to convey an emotional sensitivity to the viewer, who does not leave indifferent. " Motivation Award ceremony at the Solofra Film Festival

​ "For the quality of the images and the choice of black and white, which reveals loneliness and resignation, and for the director's ability to interpret classic Japanese cinema with great elegance."

"Those who love the history of the great Japanese cinema cannot help but be moved by watching Mokusatsu. Direction and Photography give us the same magic, they create shots that cannot fail to take us back in time, behind the camera of the Great Masters of the Rising Sun, to deal with a topic topos, that of the honor of one's feelings, through a current theme. " Motivation Awarding of the Tortoreto Prize

"Refined narrative construction, of icastic emotional immediacy." EscaMontage Film Festival

"The soundtrack that accompanies Mokusatsu's scenes, through simple but very intense sounds, alternating with an expressive use of silence, increases the yearning effect that pervades the vision of the film.", Motivation Award at the Metricamente Corto Film Festival

​

"A love story, in which silence - as the poet Yevtushenko said - when it replaces the voice of truth becomes a lie. Intense and unsettling, as only Japanese philosophy can be, the short film - shot in b / w in homage to greats of the direction of the Rising Sun, but also to restore as much intensity - it tells of a posthumous message of a great love, hidden so as not to give suffering to the beloved.
