It is not your typical Japanese horror movie! There is some tension, but it's not made to be a scary film, more an emotional film.

The story is really good: unpredictable and original. The motivation of all characters is very understandable and relationships between characters are very well rooted.

The cast and their acting is amazing! Subtle, but still expressional.

The music is also subtle and expressional at the same time. Just two minutes after the movies I couldn't remember any speciffic tune, but I do remember that the music was absent in places where there was no need for music and supporting/enhancing the scenes when it could.

The beautiful cinematography and great story make this very rewatchable. All the scenes are so beautifully framed; the colors are highly saturated and this gives the well-framed pictures an intence feel.

Overall: I know this movie is old, and not well known, and you probably can't find it in high quality anywhere: it's really good: go watch it!
