Our take

Based on the work of acclaimed Japanese author Haruki Murakami, this exquisitely lyrical, deceptively simple, and frequently funny film won big at Locarno in 2005, got picked up by Sundance, and landed in theaters to critical acclaim. It remains a triumph of the loveliest, tenderest melancholy.
