One of the most emotional, heartwarming and fulfilling dramas of this spring! A ray of sunshine, a glimpse of a rainbow after a stormy raining day. Highly recommended.
Painfully breathtaking snowy landscapes of the Antarctic wilderness, a wonderful score from Joe Hisashi, a realistic fight for survival, and an almost natural character development and romance, make this movie feel sincere and really worth watching.
This delicate semi-autobiographical debut is a sad, but not depressing story about mortality and the changes in family relationships and balance induced by a terminal illness. Beautiful landscapes and colouring are among the pros, the dislocation of time and the somewhat confusing blending of reality and imaginary are among the cons.
A nuanced and very emotional omnibus special about different women facing their fears, frustrations, inner struggles, broken dreams and suppressed emotions, as well as their journey through some needed confrontations, reconciliations, acceptance, separations and moving on in their lives. Beautiful cinematography and music, great performances - especially from Seo Hyun.
A sad, surreal story, serving as a social commentary about mental health and Japan’s current state of mental healthcare, through the eyes of a young girl named Ako. Though the film's experimental narrative was rather monotonous and lost in its symbolism, Ako's battling between consciousness and hallucinations, as well as her failed attempts for human connection and bonding, still leave a strong impression.
With many beautiful buildings, designs and dishes, detailed and compelling narration, and some very thoughtful quotes, this little gem was a breath of fresh air in between some more complex and demanding dramas. Time well-spent :)
I’m watching Ha Kyun in beyond evil right now and if his acting is as good in this movie as it is in that drama,…
Liked Shin Ha Kyun very much in 'Pied Piper' and 'Inseparable Bros' :) imo '100 Days my Prince' doesn't do Kyung Soo much justice. You should check 'Hello Monster', 'It's Okay, That's Love', 'My Annoying Brother' and 'Swing Kids' to appreciate his acting skills xD
A slow paced, subdued and atmospheric period themed story, at the outset of the WW2, about trust and deception, loyalty and betrayal, choices and convictions, espionage-like mind games. Among its strongest elements were definitely the elegant performances of delicate Aoi Yu and suave Takahashi Issei, as well as the well-fitted music and the exceptional costumes and colouring.

Ozu Yasujiro was way ahead of his time!
