2000, directed by Iwai Shunji.The duration time of this movie is rather short, so it is classified into the mid-length movie rather than short or long length movie.
This is because it lasts only an hour.
As the movies he (Iwai Shunji) has made, the scenes of the movie is picturesque.
The long path with cherry blossoms with flying petals of the flowers from the trees of the sides; left and right. The way of lighting use of the movie, is not exaggerated or over-used, but very gentle and femine as he used to get it to make all kind of his movies.
As I mention some of the plot of the film, it is about the girl who has just entered the university in Tokyo, called Musasino, from her hometown Hotkaido in Japan.
The girl is very introvert and shy but the reason she applied the university is clear; becoz of her first love, adorable senior student in her high school.
She doesn't talk a lot, the screen is full of the images of her and her surroundings.
And the audiences could feel April of Tokyo with the sunny weather and the cherry blossoms everywhere in Tokyo.
It's just like a short lovely break you could have without any tension.
It might be very boring without spectacle or suspense plot or the wave of the story, but it lasts only one hour.
But personally, I think the films like this, which is very monotous and requires nothing to be evaluated or critisized, are needed to show up to the audiences in the modern society.
Coz the audiences, generally suppressed and under controlled by gigantic hollywood films,
need the break, the pause to feel the lack of innocence and the reality of the film.
