Is there any bridge that love cannot cross?

“Ima, Ai Ni Yukimasu” or “Now, I’m Going to See You”
is a Japanese love story about a husband, wife, and their son.
(It is also sometimes translated into English as simply “Be With You.”)

For those incredibly familiar with love stories, it may seem cliche.
(But I assure you it’s not easy to write a completely original love story).
At the very least, this is a beautiful film because of its sincerity.
The acting is subtle (typical of a Japanese film) but reveals a lot.
It may seem like I say this often, but this film has heart,
something most commercial movies these days seem to lack.
The music and cinematography is lush and beautiful,
the main actors show a real chemistry,
and the structure of the story keeps you involved
as you learn more and more about their lives.
It’s a love story that can make you cry and smile at the same time.
Forget The Notebook. Forget Titanic. See this movie.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
