Finally got around to watching my Korean import blu-ray of Shunji Iwai's April Story. The film is a fairly gentle introspective romance film, clocking in at a brief 67 minutes. My only previous experience with Iwai's work was Love Letter, which i recall liking, and his contribution to the anthology film New York, I Love You. I also have his films Hana and Alice, as well as All About Lily Chou Chou in my collection as well. Iwai also made a documentary about Kon Ichikawa as well, which I hope to acquire sooner rather than later.
Ozu would have been proud!
