This unconventional, well written and stellar drama by one of the greats of Japanese cinema, is definitely deserving of the praise it has gotten, and yet another great testament of the director's great touch, and the qualities of Japanese cinema.
The actors all do an inredible job, very career defining, very subtle, emotional and sometimes funny - and the script accompining them is, of course, incredible - very unconventional, subtle and expertly paced. Just so finely written.
The cinematography, cutting and editing is stellar, the film is all around very beautifully put together.
Overall, truly a masterful achievement, one of the better films of the year, and highly recommended for any lover of film!
