The Ravine of Goodbye (さよなら渓谷, Sayonara keikoku) is a 2013 Japanese drama film directed by Tatsushi Ōmori. The film is based on the Japanese 2008 novel Sayonara keikoku by Shuichi Yoshida, which intrigued Ōmori with its central mystery of a rape victim and her perpetrator choosing to live together.[1] It won the Special Jury Prize at the 35th Moscow International Film Festival.[2] The ending theme song "Saisakizaka" was written by musician Ringo Sheena, and performed by lead actress Yōko Maki.
