Yellow Tears


  • Movie: Yellow Tears

  • Romaji: Kiiroi namida

  • Japanese: 黄色い涙

The movie is centered around five friends as they end up spending the summer of 1962 shackled up together in a tiny studio apartment in Tokyo. The five friends are Eisuke - the manga artist, Shoichi - the singer, Ryuzo - the novelist, Kei - the painter and Yuji – the 5th wheel (?). The friends spend the summer in pursuit of their own ideals of personal freedom - being able to do what they want. In the process of pursuing their dream they learn firsthand that however ideal it may seem, its not as easy as they think. (http://asianwiki.com/Yellow_Tears)

OAL: This is a post war Japan slice of life movie that if I wasn't a completionist I would not have watched. That being said it wasn't bad, just not my genre of choice.
