8/10
An animated gift
11 January 2007
Big Fan of Ghilbi films and this film is nothing short of a unknown masterpiece. When watching the movie you look deep within the characters situation and try and emphasise. Especially when we were younger.

Visually i was amazed, for 1991 its superb in every aspect. Some real rich environments are created setting the mood for each scene. Those ghibli fans expecting something like Howls,or Spirited Away then this is nothing like you have ever expected.

To me the film almost felt truly art-house and call me strange but it felt the same type of sadness as i felt with the film 'In The Mood For Love' Directed by Wong Kar Wai.

I highly recommend this film, not to children though but more for adults.
