Sway (ゆれる, Yureru^?) is a 2006 film directed by Japanese director Miwa Nishikawa. It was given the Best Film award at the 2007 Yokohama Film Festival.^[1] A young woman falls to her death from a bridge while walking in the country with two brothers, one a small town gas station attendant, the other a trendy Tokyo photographer. Is one or both responsible for her death? While the older brother is put on trial for her fall, the younger brother's memories are constantly changing in response to outward influences. The audience is left questioning what actually occurred and wondering if her death was a murder.
