I am a huge Haruki Murakami fan so I was afraid the film would not live up to my hopes and expectations. This is easily the best film I've seen in the last 5 years. Beautifully shot, acted. It is worth seeing for the soundtrack alone. Murakami has never let anyone have film rights. But I can see why he was finally won over when he was approached by the Oscar nominated Vietnamese filmmaker who also did Scent of a Green Papaya. The other reviewers mention the film is weird and long. That's true. It's weirdly long and I wished it would never end. I'll go back to see it a second time.
