Somewhere over the Dreamland

Here's a movie sweeps you along in a strong and consistent emotional current. One story unfolds, and then another, but it's the same story, or at least the same mood.

A crippled man, old and drunk, gets a postcard that brings him to a lost wallet, and memories of an old love. He goes off to search for her.

A young man dreams of going to Tokyo, while eeking out an existence as a sushi chef and a prostitute. And then the phone rings, and he hears a love story.

Beautiful music and photography. You're right with these characters as they dial into some deeper internal sense of what life is about.
