Review of Kikujiro

Kikujiro (1999)
A redemption story in contemporary Japan.
25 July 2001
I have noticed some reviewers did not "get it". Strangely, I feel I did get most of it, but maybe I'm weird. All stories are not for everyone.

My comment is on the sound track - I had the sensation I had the music already in my CD collection so I checked back and found some that are similar (Appalachia Waltz with Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Mark O'Connor, and Shadow of Time by Nightnoise). If anyone knows more about the influences of the musical score perhaps you could let us know. It matched the moods of the film very well. p.s. An observation: some parts may seem slow, but serve to develop the characters elegantly and quietly - a refreshing relief from "Lethal Weapon - type character development. p.p.s Color was great, as well as cinematography. (OK, I'll stop now).
