A sublime little drama from Iwai. It's been ages since I last watched it, and I'd forgotten how unique and special this film truly is. From the lovely cinematography to the gentle score, from the soothing drama to the flashes of weirdness and horror, this is Iwai exploring the boundaries of his signature style. Add to that some splendid performances and a killer ending, and you have a sweet, challenging, compact drama that easily stands the test of time.
