Jul 17, 2010I love Haruki Murakami's stories, so I was predisposed to love this, and Ichikawa does a sterling job of turning a slight delicate tale into a slight, delicate film that conveys all the complexities of a life lived and a relationship won and lost, never hitting you over the head with a plot line, and always leaving a little space for unanswered questions and imagined what-ifs. Magical.Lesley N Super Reviewer

Aug 31, 2009Beautiful look at boredom is intricately simple and interesting. But the compelling start, ends up somewhat devoid of real story and leaves you feeling empty.Bert R Super Reviewer

Mar 03, 2008Beautiful, but slow and subtle. Captures isolation perfectly. Nicely filmed with sad mood throughout. Unusual and worth a look.Nicki M Super Reviewer
