Fantastic Japanese flick, one of the better ones I've seen in recent years though the actors might not have done the best job acting, the plot, soundtracks and development was quite original.
One of my favorite Shakespeare oriented films...it captures some of the true essence he inspired adding its bits of humor, it was well deserving of all the Academy awards it won for it is a true love film with emotion and not just another feelingless/meaningless romantic flick.
