A Movie to be Remembered
28 October 1999 | by (Tokyo, Japan) – See all my reviews

This movie tells two very moving stories with care and sensitivity. Everyone in the cast plays their roles the way they were meant to be played. No one steals the show; instead they work together to create a movie to be remembered.
