I enjoyed the short story, but never realised it had been dramatised. You did comment on it the first time I posted my review, but the comments disappeared during the move... @GARbej: you're welcome! I'm not sure how many of Murakami's other stories will (or even can) be adapted for film, but if you enjoyed the original story I'm sure you'll like this too. ^_^ @Hige: I have you to thank, really, that I heard about the film at all.

I knew there was a film adaptation of it, but I was wary of the quality. After reading your review, I guess I'll have to find a way to see the film. Thanks!

The sense of loneliness is rendered perfectly, the score flawlessly suited, the acting exceptional in its subtly. I've written about this film until I'm blue in the face but it never seems enough. The only criticism I have with it is a sort of traditionalism agenda bubbling under the surface, but that's really down to interpretation and doesn't detract from the emotional power of the film.
