The show was nothing short of a visual spectacle. The settings were all in extremely vibrant colours, though not gaudily so. The kimonos that the cast wore were simply sublime. Anna Tsuchiya was cast very well as the impish, spitfire and stubborn Kiyoha. With the movie revolving around her, it was important that she could carry it through, which she did.
Of notable mention too was the soundtrack done by Shiina Ringo. I think she deserves a blog entry by herself. Since the film was never going to be conservative and true to the period, it was only fitting to have the often lively and stylish Shiina do the tunes. It included copious strings, rock instruments and some electro into a delectable mix.
A feast for the senses.
