This is a beautiful movie of passion, love found and love lost. This is not for anyone under 30 who will not be able to appreciate the life lessons so poignantly portrayed here. Miho is a knockout, proving that beautiful women are gorgeous no matter how old they are. If you are not teary at the end you have not lived or loved sufficiently. John Lee's direction is spot on and the cinematography os wonderful.

An enjoyable movie but nothing you will remember as really touching or strongly amazing. The plot is obvious and only the warm colours of its beautiful fuzzy images are giving something more to the movie. Ah ... I've forgotten Miho Nakayama: she is always very capable and intense. Just a single movement of her eyes express a lot of sensations, more than the entire movie! Surely a mile above Hidetoshi Nishijima. Her beautiful face comes also better though years are passing by. Isn't she wasted for this movie? Yes for me!
