Just what I expected
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
The wonderful Matsushima Nanako raises the quality of this romantic drama. The story involves a businessman, who, after spending 8 years grieving the loss of his wife to illness, finds himself very gently persued by a young office worker. Matsushima, plays Fumika, with grace and charm as she becomes an important part of the man's life without his even realizing. As with many of these films, the colorful, and in some cases tragic supporting chaacters realize what's happening before the lead himself. With a story with more character than humor, expert performances, this is a film well worth looking up. Tea, anyone?
