| Title - Tony Takitani Director - Jun Ichikawa Year of Release - 2004 Duration - 76 minutes Genre - Drama, Adaptation IMDb - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420260/ Synopsis Due to his Western name, Tony was shunned by other kids and spent a solitary childhood.

Then in middle age, Tony suddenly falls for a pretty young woman, Eiko Konuma, who visits him one day on business. Eiko is like an angel in Tony's daily existence, and for the first time in his life, he feels connected to the outside world. However, Eiko does have one fault: she's a clothing shopaholic. Confusion also begins to develop when it appears that Eiko has a double. Stream: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XODU3ODkxNzY=.html Can be found on asiatorrents and other usual torrent sites. |

| Saw this several years ago, I didn't care for it and it didn't leave much of an impression. |

| Funny you say that because I also completely forgot about this one and had to look it up again. The description sounded familiar but I still can't seem to recall anything other than I gave it three and a half stars on Netflix. Which also means that I must have liked something about it. So I watched the preview posted here and I remembered. It was a pretty depressing film with not really high high's or low low's. You could almost say the movie was morose. I think that was what I liked about it. |

I watched this movie twice actually because I had forgotten that I had seen it once before. :) I liked it better with the second viewing, but that is probably due to the fact that I had learned it was based on the Murakami short story and it gave me the necessary tone and context required for seeing the film as more than just a really weird story. =] |
