(Shigatsu monogatari)
Country: JAP
Technical: col/2.35:1 67m
Director: Shunji Iwai
Cast: Takako Matsu, Seiichi Tanabe
Synopsis:
A provincial girl from the north goes to university in Tokyo, where her efforts at making friends are rewarded by a chance encounter at a book store.
Review:
Slight love story with whimsical trimmings. Even for such a short film there are longueurs, and the strand involving her fishing enthusiast friend goes nowhere, but it is delicately made and the lead is a delight.
