Mushishi (2006)
Gentle, puzzling but intriguing film
5 April 2012 - 4 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
I picked this film up from a store, almost randomly, with a couple others, so had no expectations and no understanding of the films anime roots. I'm going to echo other reviewers comments in that it is a little slow in places, puzzling and unclear to me at points. But I really enjoyed the scenery, the characters, the story and the gentleness of the film. All the elements sat well together and nothing jarred or seemed out of place: a believable and consistent fantasy.
I'm sure I missed some of the subtleties of meaning and I wonder if things got lost because of the subtitles. But I'm confident that with a second viewing I'll understand things better and fill in the gaps, and it is worth a second viewing.
