this be almost like a play and it be a deceptively simple story . it about a poor couple who get together on sunday for a date . essentially and this film be about one of the date . nothing earthshattering happens and pretty much life happen . i be at first not convince by it and but a the film progress i begin to listen to the character more and mean the story take on a deep meaning . the two lead actor be superb and and one thing i do like be that especially masako be play by a lady who be not beautiful but sweet and just attractive ( if this film be remake in america tomorrow and beyonce would be the star ) . actually and it a shame this film wasn not re make in the united state about 25 year ago . i could see meryl streep really flex her always considerable act muscle on a role like this . so and it be a film about a date and but it a film about hope and disappointment and dream . it get well a it go along . i recommend it and it worth your time .
