Glasses (2007)

After delighting audiences in 2006 with Kamome Shokudo, director Ogigami Naoko returns with another quirky and affecting tale of odd souls and minor revelations from the ends of the earth. Megane (a.k.a. Glasses) is a hazy-dazy escapist film about finding inspiration in idleness. Set on a beautiful island of blue sea and endless beach, Megane is candy for the eyes and chicken soup for the soul, proffering offbeat humor, low-key storytelling, and charismatic performances from its outstanding cast, who make it an effortlessly charming film.
