A Bride for Rip Van Winkle is a Japanese film with a runtime of 179 minutes. It was released in 2016 and is based on a novel of the same name.
The story is about Nanami, a part-time teacher who decides to hire strangers to be her friends and family at her wedding.
Although this film has quite a long runtime, it uses every minute very well. The first part of the film will help you get to know the main character and her surroundings, which makes the second part of the movie so much richer. It is a true rollercoaster, both for events in the story and your feelings. The relationships and characters are eccentric, but also very relatable. If you enjoy stories that have a focus on life and trying to fit in society, this film is a good choice for you.
The camera is nearly always on the move during the film, with different styles and angles. The characters are also not always in focus, the backgrounds often also contain elements that add to the story. The film uses classical music from the album: Bride – Wedding Scores for Rip Van Winkle.
