| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitSentimental strings help to relate this drama to Western noir of years ago. But landscape, season and historical context also couple the stylish film to a distinctly Eastern sensibility. |
| User ReviewDavid DAn excellent mystery film. Can appropriately be called Hitchcockian in terms both of storyline and atmosphere but it also in many ways can be described as film noir. Very well photographed. A film mystery fans should definitely see. |
| User ReviewMatty SA dark and atmospheric bit of cinematic magic. |
| User ReviewWalter MRather interesting and clever B&W mid-Century murder mystery, even more surprising in that it hails from Japanese cinema. Shortly after her marriage, A wife's "salaryman" heads out of town to remote prefecture of northern Japan on what is supposed to be his last bit of business with his current employer. Instead, he vanishes into thin air. The wife has to travel north to sleuth it out for herself, and it's a twisty, turny trip indeed. To say any more would spoil. RECOMMENDATION: If you like the genre, you'll love this taste of it, garnished with wasabi. |
| User ReviewJessyca ¤Gorgeous black and white with a lush score, this movie is a really entertaining mystery totally worth a Saturday afternoon. |
| User ReviewJanick LScénario complexe où encore les sous-titres nous font perdre un peu le fil. On sent l?influence de Kurosawa (principalement Rashômon). |
| User ReviewDavid FSomewhat of a mesmerizing investigative film about a husband who disappears and all the myriad secrets that his wife discovers about him and his life when she goes looking for him. There's a wistful philosophical tone about the mysteries of the world that I liked. |
| User ReviewDavid TTostoncito japones, con una buena ambientacion, pero con un guion complicado, que se pierde en momentos, y contado con muchas prisas. Se puede ver, pero con muchas ganas |
