Japan 2006Poster and details twitchfilm
Seen 15 June 2007
The opening sequences of a film will usually determine whether I fall in love or just treat a film as another run of the mill product of the movie industry. In this case, I was hooked from the start. I had some doubts when I saw that the film will run for more than two hours and it is in Japanese. I was not disappointed as the subtitles helped convey the story line adequately. The story of an individual who has embraced life to the maximum.
She has given herself to others without any expectation of a return. Heart warming, empowering message despite the downs that Matsuko suffered on numerous occasions throughout her life. Special mention must be recorded on the fantastic overall art direction. A delightful mish mash of the 1930s or 1940s musicals and the MTV style of a three minute music video.
Gloriously satisfying watch.
