Storyline

Mio's death leaves husband Takumi and 6 year old son Yuji fending for themselves. Taku occasionally suffers fainting spells, is disorganized, and fears that his health hindered Mio's happiness. Yuji overheard relatives speculate that his delivery compromised her health, and he blames himself for her death. Mio left him a picture book in which she departs for "The Archive Star" but re-appears during the rainy season the following year, and he eagerly awaits her return. Taking a walk in the forest outside their house, Taku and Yuji find a woman sheltering from the rain and immediately accept her as Mio. She has no memory or sense of identity, but comes home to live with them anyway. She asks Taku how they met and fell in love, and he recounts a tale of years of missed chances starting in high school until she encouraged their marriage years later. As the rainy season nears its end, Yuji finds the "time capsule" he hid with his mother before her death. Mio's diary is inside, and its ... Written by Brian Greenhalgh

Best movie of 2005. Should have won a Best Foreign Film Nomination.
18 March 2006 | by (Fortaleza, CE Brazil) – See all my reviews

Let me say right from the start - this may be the BEST motion picture I've ever seen in my life. It's a shame Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu wasn't recognized by the Academy in 2005, this should have been the front runner for Best Foreign Picture of that year, and it should have won the Oscar. A beautifully well crafted love story, this is the typical case of a film that has all the elements working for it, wonderful cast (the actor who played Taku, the widower, gives an outstanding performance. Along with Paddy Considine, an actor that took my heart away in Jim Sheridan's In America, the actor who portrays Taku is also a revelation in a breakthrough performance; also my respects for the child actor who plays the kid and the actress who plays the deceased mother who comes back in raining season), great story, sad and touching moments that will make you cry like a baby and one hell of a soundtrack.
