Josee, the Tiger and the Fish by Isshin Inudou (2003, Japan)



Tragic romance. A relationship doomed from the start. However that didn't take away even the slightest bit of the sweet, sweet moments these two characters shared. It just makes the ending that much more painful. I really appreciate the issues this movie attempts to bring forward, and the realisticly subtle approach it used. One of the best pitifully romantic movies I've seen that avoided cliches.

4/5 stars
