ユリイカ:Yûreka Roadshow 
九州で起きたバス・ジャック事件で、辛くも生き延びたバス運転手・沢井（役所広司）と、乗客の直樹（宮崎将）、梢（宮崎あおい）の姉妹は、2年後に偶然再会したのを機に共同生活を始めるようになる。そこに兄妹の様子を見に来た従兄の秋彦（斉藤陽一郎）が加わり、疑似家族の様相を呈してきた4人は、やがて再びバスに乗って再生の旅に出た…。
2000年のカンヌ国政映画祭で国際批評家連盟賞とエキュメニック賞を受賞した、心に傷をもつ人間たちの再生の旅を描いた青山真治監督の秀作ヒューマンドラマ。3時間37分という長尺ながら、モノクロ映像を駆使して静かに人間をとらえる作者の真摯な眼差しゆえに、じっくりとその世界観に入り込むことができる。九州の方言を巧みに活かすなど、言語を大切にした演出もすばらしい。（的田也寸志）

There is an excellent 100-minute film in Eureka, but this monster is an exercise in tedium that will appeal only to a particular niche of film buffs. Other reviewers point out that this is mainly a visual experience, with movie tributes to the likes of Hou Hsiao-Hsien for the anoraks to delight in spotting. But nobody seems able to tell me WHY it is so long. There is one scene where the bus pulls out of a diner's car park, and drives up the road that extends into the distance, over the hill and out of sight. Fixed camera wide shot, no cuts. It takes 2 minutes 40 seconds - why? We know where the bus is going, and the frame is not particularly interesting to look at. Maybe there is a deeper meaning to such anti-editing statements that I am missing, but it looks like Aoyama just couldn't be bothered cutting the thing properly. Two stars for the cinematography.

This metaphorically rich study of trauma is mesmerizing despite its 3ﾂｽ hour running time. While it lacks a conventional plot, this is more than compensated for by psychological sensitivity, hypnotic photography, and superb acting.
"Eureka" is an existential road movie about three people recovering from a near-death experience. Unable to overcome their trauma, they finally take an extended trip together in a small bus. It is a journey on the road to self-knowledge, ending in the longed-for catharsis.
Superficially tranquil and psychologically complex, this film is a truly remarkable experience. It deservedly won the International Critics' Prize/Ecumenical Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000. | | | | | | | | | | | |  i don't know / 2002-07-14
i was really excited about seeing this thing on the big screen. i read that it was inspired by sonic youth's daydream nation, my favorite band. it was beautifuly shot, low contrast color almost black and white. after the hours rolled by i started getting impatient. so, it was ok... i don't know, i think i need to see it again. | | | | | | | | | | | | Haunting Perfection / 2002-06-16
Eureka is a fantastic film of everything, from drama, thriller, romance, mystery, and beyond. It takes a long road to get there, but has intrigue to keep you with it. Though most of the movie is very depressing, it resolves in an ending that can be taken both pessimistic or optomistic. It just depends how you view it. By the way, I believe one viewer was asking about it on DVD. ... | | | | | | | | | | | | will this EVER be released on dvd? / 2002-05-24
This is a truly amazing film--demanding, yes, but so is all great art. Stick with it and you will be amply rewarded. But why is this film only available on dvd in Europe and Asia? Region coding = mindless greed. | | | | | | | | | |
