Five Centimeters Per Second

Japan   anime

Exceptionally beautiful film. We follow the love and separation of two young outcasts who never quite get over the bond they establish in junior high school. The film is in three segments - taking place in different stages of their lives. They maintain contact, share one visit early on but life keeps them apart...to their mutual detriment.

The drawings here were stunning...scene after scene dazzled me with the imagery, color, variety...just brilliant work. The Japanese are far ahead of the rest of the world creating animated films which fully satisfy an adult audience.

This is one I'll revisit often.
