ノルウェイの森

ノルウェイの森 - Norwegian Wood
Plot
Toru Watanabe is a quiet and serious young man in 1960s Tokyo whose personal life is in tumult, having lost his best friend Kizuki after he inexplicably commits suicide. Seeking an escape, Toru enters a university in Tokyo. By chance, during a walk in a park, Toru meets Kizuki's ex-girlfriend Naoko, and they grow close. Naoko is devastated by the loss of Kizuki, however, and spirals into a deep depression.
After many months I finally saw this movie! I was so pissed I wasn't able to see it in the movies but I was too busy at the time.
What can I say!? It's very Japanese.. I like the surroundings, still I do have a hard time for Tran Anh Hung's movies. They are beautiful but sometimes they are also very weird.
Both Kenichi-san and Rinko-san are doing a great job, however after watching I'm not sure if I liked it or not...

I give it
☆☆☆/☆☆☆☆☆
