The "Lost Classic" of Takahata finally sees a US release
This was the film that Takahata did right after his fantastic Grave of the Fireflies. As good as grave of the fireflies is, it's not a movie I can watch very often due to its overwhelmingly tragic story. Thankfully, Only Yesterday has a much lighter tone. This is a delightful film that is at times funny, at times a bit sad, but it left me with a tear in my eye and a smile on my face at the end. It is a moving expression of the human condition. It's about remembering childhood for all its wonder and innocence, wanting to in some ways relive those times, but needing to let go and move on. This Blu ray release has good image quality and excellent sound, though it would seem that no attempt has been made at even a 5.1 surround sound mix. The DTS stereo does sound good none the less.
