Japanese Story is the wittiest and most original romantic comedy I have seen in an absolute age.
Japanese Story is the wittiest and most original romantic comedy I have seen in an absolute age. Not only does its opposites attract storyline actually work for the first time in years, but coupled with the beautiful background that is the Australian outback strengthens the happiness which is eventually shown by the main couple. Toni Collette anchors the film perfectly, her no-nonsense geologist obviously annoyed at chaparoning her Japanese client. The little reminders that the outback is a dangerous place contrast nicely with the equally unexpected places you find love this is the film to see this summer for romantics.
And trust me, this is the only way a responsible film review should talk about this movie for at least the next two months.
