H Story poster

It's been a long time since I watched this one. Back then I was still getting acquainted with arthouse cinema, which meant this type of cinema was pretty new to me. Looking at it now, it's a tad too lethargic for my taste, and the film isn't quite stylized enough to fully make up for that.

There are some interesting stylistic touches, but H Story is slow cinema about cinema, and that's not entirely my thing. The performances are solid and there are some interesting moments. It's certainly not a bad film either, just not the little gem I once thought it was. If you like arthouse and you care for the classics, it's a must-see though.
