There are plenty of Japanese films that have just left me baffled at the end. For a long time it looked like Fish Story might be one more of them; but it isn't.
Between the punk music and impending disaster, the film throws a collection of interesting characters who all feel connected... you just don't quite know how. As the scenes jump between 1975, 1999, 2009 and 2012 you spot some characters who are the same and others who might be but aren't.
Confused? That's part of the charm. There are enough likeable characters to keep you interested even when you are not quite sure what is going on. And, trust me, at the end everything is clear.
Quirky, fun, interesting. Stick with this one, you wont regret it.
