Official NORWEGIAN WOOD trailer

Tokyo, the late 1960s... Students around the world are uniting to overthrow the establishment and Toru Watanabe's personal life is similarly in tumult. At heart, he is deeply devoted to his first love, Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman. But their complex bond has been forged by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Watanabe lives with the influence of death everywhere. That is, until Midori, a girl who is everything that Naoko is not - outgoing, vivacious, supremely self-confident - marches into his life and Watanabe must choose between his past and his future.

Published in 1987 and since translated into 33 languages, Norwegian Wood is a story of loss and heartbreak in a time of global instability. Haruki Murakami's bestselling novel is brought to the screen by Tran Anh Hung (Golden Lion winner for Cyclo and Academy Award nominee for The Scent of Green Papaya) and features Japanese rising star Kenichi Matsuyama (Death Note, Detroit Metal City) and Oscar nominee Rinko Kikuchi (Babel).

@AJedProduction Ive never read the books so cant compare the film with that, but i really liked the film. Although i agree with what you said, with the film looking amazing, good music, great acting and the fact that the ending wasn't very good i think overall it was a good effort considering the book was going to be hard to adapt into a film.

@holdenwatanabe what a great screenname!

Sadly Tran Anh Hung didn't do a good job here. Good stuff: Great visuals, great music, great acting, all the actors and actresses were just like I imagined they would be in the book, especially midori. Bad stuff: The film is nice to accompany the book, so you can really visualise the book, but as a stand alone movie it isn't good at all. The story is really rushed through and the characters don't have any depth at all. And worst of all the ending was really really weak, wasn't done well at all.
