Mental is Soda Kazuhiro’s sophomore film, also known as “Observational Film #2”. Filmed at an outpatient mental health clinic in Japan, Mental follows Dr Yamamoto Masatomo, an advocate of open psychiatry, and his patients. Soda’s measured and kind gaze allows the audience to discard their prejudices and connect deeply with the daily activities and experiences of Yamamoto’s patients.
