Isabelle Huppert crafts a uniquely soft and vulnerable character in Élise Girard’s low-key charmer Sidonie In Japan. The eponymous Sidonie is a writer, predominantly known for an early novel that charted her grief after the deaths of family members in a car crash. Now grieving another loss, she agrees to a brief tour in Japan to celebrate a new translation of this book, accompanied by soft-spoken interpreter Kenzo (Tsuyoshi Ihara). What unfolds is a moving and gentle portrait of a woman slowly emerging from her protective carapace through probing conversations with Kenzo, a side trip to the famous art island of Naoshima, and the ghostly return of her deceased husband. Eschewing broad strokes of closure, Girard instead grabs at the heart with a beautifully nuanced look at a woman who finds a new lease on life.

Fish MV embraces the culture and love of the island of Martha’s Vineyard, with a dash of West Coast vibes. Here you’ll find some of the freshest seafood featured throughout our creative and vibrant menu. Our raw bar features island-harvested oysters shucked to order, fresh lobster, shrimp cocktail, and cherrystone clams. The main menu features poke bowls, tacos, ceviche, and many other seafood-inspired dishes. Pair it all off with our scratch-made cocktails and our impressive wine & beer list, for the perfect meal in Vineyard Haven.

We are located steps away from the Vineyard Haven Harbor, where the ferry docks. Stop by, enjoy a meal on our wooden deck, and be whisked away!
