Review of Madadayo (1993) by John L — 13 Jul 2011
Early on, it really reminded me of "Grave of the Fireflies", but it took another tact than the desolation of war. It went into the ravages of old age and the effects of small, but important loss in one's life and how to struggle through those moments.
Kyoko Kagawa stole the show every time she was on-screen as the professor's dutiful and--for the most part--silent wife. (I didn't realize I'd already seen her in so many things before until I looked up her filmography on IMDB.
She's quite the actress, I guess.).
