breathtaking

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2001)

I'm not a fan of animation film, but I watched the story of Seita and Setsuko on TV yesterday and I'm happy that I did.
A German TV journal wrote something like "it's in no way inferior to SCHINDLER'S LIST" and they are so right. Takahata knows to create emotional pictures. It's a completely sad story and very real in spite of the animation and it isn't for kids.
