5 CENTIMETERS PER SECOND (2007)
MAKOTO SHINKAI
Plot
Told in three chapters we follow the young dreamer Takaki through his life as cruel winters, cold technology silence and finally adult obligations and responsibility converge to dissipate his idealism and dreams. Beginning with the lyrical image of cherry blossoms falling at five centimetres a second, Makoto Shinkai paints a breathtakingly vivid tableau of young love, desire, loss and hope.
