After the death of her husband Chloe travels to Japan on a photo assignment. There she reconnects with Toshi and his young daughter.
This is a sweet little romance which originally had a poor choice for a title (blood, all lower case). It's a lovely story about nice people who find each other. It's a beautifully shot to the point that you will want to disappear into the landscape. Rarely has Japan ever felt so inviting.
I love this film a great deal. I love that it doesn't reinvent the wheel, it simply does what it does extremely well with the result being a film we want to curl up with.
If there is anything wrong with the film, aside from a poor choice of a title, it's that the romance between Chloe and Toshi is pretty much a done deal from the first frame. We know it's going to happen; we just have to wait for the inevitable, however, it's so well done you won't care.
