one of my favorites

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2008)

I don't like the comments on here, or anywhere else that summarize the movie or talk subjectively about romance and such, so I won't. This is a really great film, my opinion of course, but trust the average rating on this one it's really pretty good. I can understand if someone says it to be slow moving or choppy or hard to follow but that is the style of this film. It has great shots of Japan and some (maybe generalized) Japanese culture, but it does a great job of telling a different kind of story. I could also see that if this was actually about Coppolla how people might label it as just a whiny first attempt at telling her story and that she is just spoiled and jaded, but take it into your own life's context and you may feel, as I did, that it is quite a beautiful film.
