Comments on: TREELESS MOUNTAIN Review http://blog.spout.com/2009/04/21/treeless-mountain-review/ Daily coverage of what is truly interesting in the film world Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:52:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Christopher Campbell http://blog.spout.com/2009/04/21/treeless-mountain-review/#comment-126613 Christopher Campbell Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:07:32 +0000 http://blog.spout.com/?p=13525#comment-126613 Thanks to those comments, I went into Treeless Mountain thinking the girls' mother would die and they would be wandering about completely alone. Therefore, I expected the film to be a lot sadder than it is. Where I bawled my eyes out through Fireflies, I was smiling throughout most of Treeless. Perhaps it's just that I've always had a sort of orphan fantasy, though I've definitely also simultaneously always had fears of such a scenario happening to my life. In any event, I ultimately find the film to be more hopeful than completely heartbreaking, especially considering that it's autobiographical.

Looking forward to see it, the trailer has me excited. Also way happy to see that they used "Layers" by Asobi Seksu as the soundtrack to the trailer.

Is this film coming out with a theatrical release? Hope it does. Reminds me of the Ghibli studio film, Grave of the Fireflies.
