Although I was swept along with the emotion of the mourning man throughout the film I felt like the film failed to leave a strong lasting impression which is why it hasn’t gained 5 stars from me. I also feel the winding of the little music box should have been ommitted, it was a little cliche but I understand the significance of a child’s toy in essence. There are a few scenes that I’d remember to have touched me, especially the river-crossing scene. I think Shigeki makes the film. Worth a watch still.
