A marvelous film...maybe his best in a long, fruitful career. He adapted elements of Japanese folk legends and melded them with a personal, contemporary story and hit all the right notes. There are elements of the fantastic and the supernatural which are very different from western ideas.
The look was fabulous...fluid, liquid pastels in the ocean scenes contrast with the sharp. primary colors on land. No villains...all heroes. A fairy-tale resolution that was pitch-perfect for me.
Truly a triumph...a landmark in international cinema.
