那天夏天，寧靜的海 A Scene At The Sea
1991/101min/Color/Japanese
11 wins & 4 nominations

這部電影有著北野武電影常見的元素，除了那些突兀的暴力影像。
沒有太多的對白，幾近沉默又嚴肅的角色；即興與突然的鏡頭，你還搞不清過程發生了甚麼，然後通常會在片尾告訴你主角會死去；沉靜的靜止鏡頭，時常等待出現“空鏡”，還有那個著名的“北野藍”，在片中得到極有層次的體現，交織著一段寂寞與感傷的回憶，最後，化作那寧靜的海那一道永恆的風景線。（北野武對藍色情有獨鍾，從《奏鳴曲》開始，與攝影師柳島克己及燈光師高屋齋都有著共同的想法，利用濾鏡和燈光刻意控制與安排藍色的畫面色彩主調。）
