Viewing Notes

Great to catch a viewing in its native language. Worth the trek down to Landmark Century. Wish more theaters were screening it that way. Much like POPPY HILL this movie is so inherently Japan I can’t imagine not viewing it in Japanese. Wonderful film. Rich, warm, poignant and somber. Sweet finale to an amazing career.
