Rick M @RT71923482 Nov 24 I remember being seven or eight years old. It was a day off, no school, and I was just watching TV. Then I saw they were playing this anime. That opening scene, the way the story started, the music—everything was strangely beautiful. Just... really beautiful. For two weeks, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I never imagined that on that day, because of that anime, I’d come face to face with something deep and new—this whole concept of feeling. Life’s funny that way...

See more 06/05/2021 I kinda have fun with it pretty good tho See more 04/02/2017 With a lot of fascination with Japanese obsession with death, goblins, guardian spirits and the grotesque and the macabre, Hiroyuki Okiura's 6th feature film examines how a young girl come to terms with the death of her father. The unusual fascination with death and ghostly realms is a bit odd for non-Japanese audience but the reference to old-style mangas is inspired and comical goblins and their antics breaks the emotional heaviness of the story. Okiura revels in the beauty of the Japanese landscape and gives a story that has a lot of tenderness and a dose of slapstick comedy.

En effet, en l'état, il n'y a aucun problème avec cette histoire de fillette qui découvre qu'elle peut voir des Yokai alors que personne d'autre ne le peut. Mais il n'y a rien de réellement original dans le film d'Okiura Hiroyuki, que ce soit dans l'animation, dans les personnages ou dans le script. Bien que le film parvienne parfois à être touchant, il l'est autant qu'il est ennuyeux dans son développement. Les rebondissements dramatiques sont attendus, les yokai particulièrement agaçants, mais il en reste que Lettre à Momo possède un certain charme lorsqu'il se concentre sur les humains. Difficile alors de l'envoyer paître totalement. See more Read all reviews
