Ô Rûshî!

There is something to say of a film with such a slow casual pacing that keeps you enthralled and waiting for the next turn. The story and cast were wonderful with some unexpected turns. Watch and enjoy.

How does one reconcile reality and delusion when the illusion of love is at hand? A rather wound up and repressed Japanese woman takes a leap. An interesting twist in a woman's search for love. What crawled under my skin was how Japanese culture was portrayed...emotionally repressed, and the 'awkwardness' that ensues. I felt like I was in Japan again... Although topically a comedy, the underlying theme is loss. The actors do a magnificent job.

Even though the movie was Japanese, it could easily have been an American Indie movie. Complex characters and issues that can't result be resolved. No simple answers here

Not the best movie but entertaining enough. I wouldn't not watch it again. But I didn't fall asleep.

This is a tragedy that you do not know is a tragedy until it's about 3/4 of the way through. Up until then, you think it's a comedy of errors. It's not. Heartbreaking and very well done.
