Yakusoku (1972)
6/10
A decent watch
2 January 2024
The Rendezvous didn't quite resonate with me as much as I'd hoped, but it was still pretty decent overall. It's a quiet and very slow-paced romantic drama about two strangers on a train who seem to feel some kind of connection between each other, but circumstances eventually reveal that any sort of romance is unlikely to last long.

It sounds familiar for sure, and though the basics aren't anything new, I think there were a few points here and there that proved surprising. Maybe the film waited too long to reveal certain things for my liking, but it was absolutely the kind of character-focused drama that got more interesting as it reached its conclusion, even if parts of that conclusion seemed all but inevitable from the outset.
