Beautiful and thought provoking
By Amanda Osborne from Hampshire , 25 May 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Not for everyone, the slow pace and small amounts of dialogue will put off most viewers, even those used to the Japanese animation genre. Even so I am surprised at how little this charming series is known and it has become a firm favourate in my collection.
The story follows Heremes the Motoraid (a talking motorcyle) and Kino, a traveller who visits countries with extreme customs and political agendas. The most striking of which in this volume is a country obcessed with the preservation and distribution of books, as long as they are rated 'non-harmful' and a woman resembling an elderly woman who serves an unconventional family in the middle of no where.
I would recommend any fan of foreign arthouse to at least try this series.- Was this review helpful to you?
