Her Granddaughter review
If you want to read my review of Her Granddaughter, read this post. Dozono Tsugumi really likes to stay at her grandmother's house in the countryside. Unfortunately, her grandmother died and she decides to take care of the house. Out of the blue, a former student of her grandmother appears and says he has the right to live in the adjoining house. Thus, they begin to live together in this strange arrangement.
Shuhei Shibue's strenuously entertaining film about the improbable musical career of a Chinese strategist reincarnated in modern-day Japan delivers J-pop high notes and history deep cuts.
