I think we had a thread that mentioned this movie before (it's been out a while), but just for anyone who's only now heard of it; this movie is not about the game of go. It is a sort of biographical drama of Go Seigen's (spoiler: troubled) life. The director is good at using nature in some scenes.

I think bad is a harsh word. The director had really good use of nature in some scenes! One criticism I'd levy is that he missed his demographic. People who will want to see this movie will be go enthusiasts, and Go could just as well have been a master chef in this movie, who moved to Japan because only there was his cooking specialty extremely sought after and lauded. Watch this movie for insight into Go Seigen's personal life (and trials).

No, but now that you mention it, the last picture also appears to be that same game, albeit after move 47.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.
