"Genevieve" is a very unique film, with a rare quality that I have found in only a few films and books - there's something about it that is very appealing, and yet impossible to define. It is similar to the Ealing comedies, which isn't surprising, as Henry Cornelius directed "Passport to Pimlico" at the Ealing studios before leaving to become an independent filmmaker. I like it better than the Ealing films, though. It's so gentle and enjoyable - the ideal film to watch when home in bed with a cold!
I can't imagine anyone not liking this one. I smile whenever I think of it. It's a gem.
Enjoy!

I'm amazed that this movie is so highly rated by so many, and has even received Oscar nominations. Aside from some interesting shots of Tokyo -which a good travel film could provide - there is nothing here worth seeing, and numerous opportunities to explore the central relationship were totally wasted. The acting was flat, the characters poorly developed, the story almost non-existent, and there are long, boring scenes that accomplish nothing at all. This movie is the cinematic equivalent of the Emperor's New Clothes. If you want to see a good Bill Murray film, rent Groundhog Day.
