So very sad

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2004)

This movie was brilliant, yet boring at times. It has to be the sadest love story I've ever seen. What could be more sad than to fall in love realizing that it's something you can never develop any further? I've been always interested in Japanese culture, and although the movie might have given sterotypical presentation of Japanese people, it gave a glimpse of how two foreigners experience Tokyo and Japan.
This movie is definitely not everyone, it's not a full-blooded comedy or a drama, it's subtle in it's message, about how two people feel completely alone and lost in the world and find each other just to loose each other again. So very very sad, but the comedical aspects of this movie help make it enjoyable even for those who loose the darker side of it.
4/5 stars
