This film is about the quest of love of a young man. It is extremely realistic, especially in the description of a self-cantered central character who seems always a little surprised at what is happening to him.

The film is NOT a romantic comedy. It is not even a comedy, or a drama, or whatever category you usually put movies in. It is a transposition of life, with all its ambiguities, its unaccomplished desires, its eternal quests.

The direction is minimalist but effective. The acting is sublime. If you are not worried to watch a movie which shows things that might be happening to you, go and see it.

This movie depicts the encounter of two people who, because of the circumstances of being in a completely different country, are momentarily out of their usual environment. This encounter evolves in a very realistic way. If you like stories where many things happen all the time, do not go to see this movie. If, on the other hand, you want to see how a director, a writer and a bunch of actors managed to transpose real life into the screen, do not miss it.

The photography of Japan is really nice.

A great hourrah for Bill Murray. He is just incredibly good!!!
