Beautiful elegiac mood piece

This is a fine film, extremely intense and thoughtful. There's a brother and his cute little sister, both a bit odd (one guy has lost his memory, the girl lives in a world of her own). They seem to be fending for themselves and drifting into decadence and obscurity.

The pace is slow, and very evocative of depression (which helps emphasise the happy moments) and there is very little dialogue, which is only to its benefit. Some lovely, quite tender scenes drift through your consciousness long after the film is over - in fact I'm still thinking about it.

As soon as I'd watched it I watched it over again - something I very rarely do - and it was even better.

Very unique and bizarre treatment from Japan

Hypnotic arthouse cinema very similar type to shinji aoyama movies (Eureka etc.) that i cant find it anywhere until i randomly found some online dvd store that has the japanese copy with Thai subtitle

The movie itself has a slow pace and painfully boring I would personally recommend for cult film enthusiast only!
