Great Fantasy Movie, Post-Punk

"Loved this movie. I'm a westerner, spent time in Japan, loved this live-action fairy-tale love story. Even though the writer/director is somewhere in his 80's, he has a funny, surprising and high-energy style that will enchant you. If you're used to Disney and Pixar, maybe you should give it a miss, because it's off-beat and surprising--but I'm buying a copy for myself--loved it."

"and this film -- quite pretty in itself -- is great fun in every respect. And its various "meanings" begin to reveal themselves with repeated viewings.
And the "Making of" extras -- which are quite extensive, from her first meeting with the director to the tearsome film wrap-up -- are also English-subtitled in this release.
Charming all around. So much so I now have three different releases of it for their different covers.
