One of the best movies that I've seen in a while, Tony Takitani is based on a short story by Haruki Murakami. With a fabulous musical score by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tony Takitani transports the viewer into another reality. The cinematography is also noteworthy. The scenes are textured and beautifully shot. Texture, color, and design are relished. Scenes move sideways in an interesting bit of camera work that I've never seen done before. The movie tells the story of a lonely illustrator who, rather late in life, becomes attracted to a lovely young lady who loves fine clothes. They marry and Tony finds himself paying for the daily increasing volume of designer clothes purchased by his wife. His wife dies in an ironic accident and Tony finds himself with clothes and time on his hands. How will Tony survive without his wife? Is there salvation for the lonely?
