    • Trivia
      The concept of the Grim Reaper taking human form to experience the mortal realm is not something particularly new; parallels can easily be drawn to Brad Pitt's turn as a Grim Reaper in Meet Joe Black (1998). Both films share several elements in common; they involve the Grim Reaper taking on the suave visage of a pretty boy, they remove the sinister from the concept of Death itself, and they end up as a study of Life instead of Death. However, this is where the similarities end, and Sweet Rain: Shinigami no Seido, based on the bestselling novel by Isaka Kotaro (The Accuracy of Death), turns out to be a great story in its own right.

    Slightly surreal but interesting
    The movie is beautifully shot, well acted and has a great classical soundtrack. It has that 90's Hollywood warmth to it, the grainy camera, the music. Like a Steven King film or Home Alone. The main character and his motives however don't make much sense and from the very first scene on I had question marks popping up in the rational side of my brain. But weirdly enough it is still very entertaining and nice to watch and the story has a certain poetry to it. A cozy movie for a rainy night.
