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.
