I saw this movie at a film festival, and have been patiently waiting for it to be distributed. Unfortunately, the world at large is deprived of the pleasure. This film conveys a collector's love (a difficult thing to understand if you don't have the affliction), and a profound sense of culture and culture shock. The most remarkable thing is that all this is done without overuse of dialog. Through the study of the human condition and the connection that can exist between two people previously unmet, the audience is witness to an evolution on several levels. Beautifully shot and artfully acted, this film achieves (and then some) what Japanese Story fell short of.
