Great pictures, in 3 greyish scenes there were bold red blossom floating from the sky. plain beautiful.
Yet a sad sad love story.

The theatre bits were so funny, espacialy the way they spoke. High pitched and a weird intonation. Makes me want to see old school japanese theatre, if just my japanese was better.

And many martial arts bits. Jumping from roof to roof, sword fights, ... Yeah Yeah, kill those nasty daemons; But it wasnt a "killemall hollywood-style leave your brain at the ticket counter"-class movie with shallow jokes.

This movie is funny, poetic, epic, sad. if you have the chance see it.
Rating: A+
