a lukewarm mediocre film in slow motion, 22 July 2007
5/10
Author: rightwingisevil from United States

judging from the beautiful costumes and settings of this 'sennen no koi', this movie was obviously abundant with production budget, but the screenplay was such a lukewarm, slowly paced long craving and suffering romance, it should be turned out as good and interesting as 'o! oku' but not at all.

this movie was based upon the most famous ghost romance classic in japan. it was full of feminine characters, the side-lined prince even was played by a female actor, made the whole movie into a very slow, dreary and sometimes even boring film.

i totally agree with what the other review said, part of the film with some weird out-of-place inserts were just stupid and thoughtless.

i've watched my wife's reaction during the process of this movie. she usually loved Japanese movies in this genre a lot (like she's watched 'o!oku' three times in a row, but she fell asleep several times during watching this movie. i've asked her comments afterwards. she told me it's just an okay but sometimes very boring movie. so you've had it.
