A gorgeous study of post-war Japan's desire to race forward with modernisation in the early 60's in time for the Olympics. Also, the direct & indirect effects of the Korea/Japan war on the generations that followed. Oh, and Japanese culture & etiquette in the home, school & work was wonderfully drawn out too.
All this told with a light boy meets girl coming-of-age movie complete with gorgeous painted 'sets', beautiful songs and quiet humour. Really got lost in it like you should in a good Ghibli release.
Two days later it's stayed with me more than I realised it might.

Really works, doesn't it! They've managed to make it the same but bigger which is exactly what it could only ever have been if it was to succeed. I'm looking forward to a second watch as I'd wager there's a few things missed due to laughing.
