This film seems to be a kind of love affair with certain aspects of Japanese culture, with a prominent environmental theme thrown in. There are also recurring vignettes about the shooting of a samurai film, an American guy meeting the stunning Eri (Akiko Monou) who is dumb (cannot speak). Some of this film is lush and beautiful, some parts are just stunningly photographed. While the characters are strangely interwoven, its still an interesting though non-mainstream film. There are the obligatory scenes with trains and a little bit of madness, which turned out to be funny. One of the things I liked about this film was its central message, about being part of the world. Not for mainstream viewers, be a little adventurous and watch it. I liked it.
