    The soundtrack is very good, I like it, but the story is very obscure. I still like this kind of people who are in a low market. Although they are morbid in a certain form of their life, I still want to watch them...

    The beautiful picture changes from pervading loneliness to loneliness burying the whole picture. This is a familiar theme, but it is also the theme that we are most afraid to talk about, after all, it can only be talked about with ourselves or the...

    Completely literary audio-visual language, slowly moving the camera sideways, coupled with narration with a sense of alienation (the characters occasionally interject, and the alienation has a feeling of being penetrated), just like turning the pages of a book one by one. Sadness, alienation, and loneliness convey the texture of Murakami's literature very well, with a unique Japanese film style. A good director who always confused Ichikawa Jun and Ichichuan Kun before, and was...

    A film I watched in a Japanese conversation class. The slow rhythm gave me a sense of fear. The depression under the long shot is actually magnified. I know it well but I don’t want to admit it. The truth always hurts others and hurts myself. In the movie The piano soundtrack does have a healing effect without being too sad when I feel the endless resonance. Loneliness is shameful but it pays too much for it to be positive or...

    Nishijima Xiujun is just a narration, and I always feel that the male protagonist in it has a bit of Murakami's...

    Tony Takitani, Shozaburo Takitani: Was as slim as a single strand of hair.

  • Narrator: He found his home had been destroyed in the firebombing, and his parents and his only brother, lost to the same fate. In other words, he was then... utterly alone in the world.
