5 Centimeters Per Second - moving


Watched this last night. It doesn't really work as a feature film (it's three connected short stories that last just 60 mins in total) but it captures the beauty of the Japanese countryside and the anguish of youthful love brilliantly. The first chapter for me is the stand out. Had tears in my eyes at the end of that section. The interview with the director on the DVD is surprisingly insightful and frank for a Japanese production. Worth seeing.
