Review of The Great Passage (2013) by Niki G — 13 Feb 2014
A patient movie about the creation of a new dictionary and changes in the lives of its editors. Frequent humor. Fascinating (to me) details about the creation of the book. A movie that will probably appeal to hardcore bibliophiles and language geeks more than to others who might find those aspect a bit.
..meticulous. I was impressed that the movie included a pun that works both in Japanese and in English translation.
