Over the Threshold
"A documentary about intermarriage between Westerners and Japanese, made by two filmmakers who met and married while both were studying at Britain's National Film and TV School. The film documents their first visit to Japan together, during which husband Tezuka introduces his (New Zealand-born) wife to his family. The point of view is largely that of the 'outsider,' and much of the film amounts to a sociocultural study of a Japanese family, who seem to adapt surprisingly well to having a foreigner in their midst. The film's perspective is strengthened by the incorporation of interviews with other Western women who have married Japanese husbands." --Sundance Film Festival
