a beautifully crafted love story, and one of my favorite kurosawa films. there are three scenes that catapult this film into greatness, the baseball scene with the little kids, the scene where the two main characters dream about their future coffee shop, and the climactic closing scene that is one of my favorite scenes in film history where the two characters imagine taking part in a symphony in an empty ampitheatre. the weather plays a character, helping to change the disposition of the male lead, and the short speech the female lead gives to the empty ampitheatre (more specifically to us at home) sums up the purpose of the film beautifully. a wonderful sunday indeed, creating a wonderfully delightful film.

MCT:May 14, 2008An innocent couple are awakened to hardships in contemporary Japan. This mediocre Kurosawa film is briefly elevated with the imaginary symphony sequence.

MCT:April 10, 2008This was my favorite movie of the set. This one was the one that made me sad that I couldn't review right after I watched it. But thank you, fine folks at Flixster (alliteration!) for adding this movie.
This is a wonderful romance story. Yeah, my heart has grown soft since I started working at Thomas Video. I like when love overcomes economic strain to become more beautiful than anything those Disney princesses can offer me. These are real people dealing with real problems. As unique as Kurosawa always makes his films, he always has this very strong grasp on the human condition, which is probably why I love his film so much.
This is a heart-wrenching film. The story is very straightforward. As the title suggests, the entire movie takes place over the course of this one Sunday. While some parts go absolutely marvelously, there wouldn't be much of a story if the relationship wasn't placed in danger of disaster. But these disasters are things that really affect couples. You hate and love the man at the same time for being so weak and human. You root for him to get out of himself and see what he has around him.
The best part of this film is the end. Yes, it could be considered a little camp, but I would have to disagree with that statement. It is the perfect end to this film. I'm not going to spill too much about the end, but there is this surge of an almost supernatural life to the way this movie ends. Almost like Peter Pan asking the children to clap their hands. I interacted in both cases. I'm not ashamed. I begged for this movie to end happily for these characters because they really deserved it.
Kurosawa really warmed my heart with this movie. I'm not saying it is his best film. Not by a long shot. But it is an absolutely beautiful movie and it is the best of the Post-war set.
