When technical illustrator Tony Takitani asks his wife to resist her all-consuming obsession for designer clothes, the consequences are tragic. full summary | add synopsis
This is a slow, deliberate film on the subject of loss (and loneliness)
The first few minutes don't exactly imbue you with confidence, and
strike very much as a "pseuds" corner speciality.
The filmmaker and the droll narrator however save you and produce a
gentle portrait of a man who lives through loneliness.
There are woman involved too, but the cast is sparse.
I have read other users mention melancholy in their reviews. I disagree
with this. This is a film simply shot and with a gentle simple piano
score attached to it. There are no vibrant colours but it is just as
visually enchanting as the "The thin red line" even for it greyness.
It is the strength of the characters that however keep you engaged.
