User Reviews

just ok

...first, to the other commentator that seems that does not understand the point of the movie: a commemoration of 100 years of a park in Tokyo. No doubt that the director looked for a link in common of to what people does in a park and those things reminds unaltered, never mind the years that have been passing. There s a couple of nice shots of the park (Inokashira); simple, nice all around situations and a sense that some things could be not so real. The director plays with nostalgic and some dreamy (but light) movements and events but nothing to put you in a sad mood. In my opinion, Shota Sometani is not at his best in this one. All in all the movie is a good rendition to this park. A commissioned movie that is well done but nothing more than that.
