Saying Good-bye, Oneday

A film full of beautiful imagery and, though it may not seem like it, love. I sympathized with Yutaka and Toko, and ultimately with Mitsuko as well. I was very impressed by the film, both by Nishijima's performance itself and by the nature of his character – what must have been going on inside him, I don't even want to know. For me, it's a film full of emotions, even though no one is shouting or screaming them at the viewer. Love, pain, disappointment, feelings of emptiness and dissatisfaction, friendship... the film has all this and more, you just have to watch it properly. I completely understand why Yutaka acted the way he did, and it makes my heart ache for him as well. I admit I even shed a tear. A long movie that ends with words of love. But I wouldn't read the summary, it's basically a description of the whole movie. In short, it's about how an engaged man went to Bangkok and fell in love there. (09/02/2014)

I had the privilege of experiencing the incredible power of love with this incredibly beautiful film. I didn't read the plot summary before watching it so I enjoyed every minute. Like most of us, I marvel at the visuals and admire the acting. But I am most impressed by the amazing camera and sound work. Some of the shots were breathtaking. This isn’t far from being perfect... 5 stars. (02/27/2012)
