A Bride for Rip Van Winkle

shinji iwai is becoming one of my fav directors, this is like the third movie of his i watched in these two weeks and all were spectacular! the story is amazing and the narratives were all excellent, a story evolves to another story to another story to another story till it finishes, and they were all engaging to so many real life reflections and it shows how emotions are usually suppressed in Japan and sometimes you just gotta break. did not even feel the three hours while watching it, not to mention the piano pieces were well picked!
