this be a very fine and poetic story . beautiful scenery . magnificent music score . i have be twice in japan last year and the movie give me this typical japanese feeling . the movement of the camera be superb and as well a the actor . it go deep into your feeling without become melodramatic . japanese people be very sensitive and kind and it all very well bring onto the screen here . the director be play superb with light an color and show the audience that it be also possible to let them enjoy a movie with subtle and fine detail . once you have see this movie you will want to see more from the same director . it a real feel good movie and i can only recommend it to everybody .
