movie year countdown #51 - 1956 - Biruma no tategoto (The Burmese Harp)

Under discussion:

The Burmese Harp  (1956)

This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown”.  To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entry.

Biruma no tategoto (The Burmese Harp)

Although I hate it when anyone ever says something like this, I feel like I'm giving this movie a higher rating than is my natural inclination just because it seems like it deserves a higher rating.  You know you can sense that it is a good movie, and not just because it's on Criterion Collection.  I don't know why I'm saying that or if it's even true.  I hate when people say that.

There really are some beautiful moments.  And the ending made me physically cry for a moment.  But most of it seemed kind of boring.  Although I don't think it should have been.  Why am I blaming myself here?

Rating: 8/10
