Gauche is a diligent but mediocre cellist who plays for a small town orchestra and the local cinema in the early 20th century.

Over the course of four nights, Gauche is visited at his mill house home by talking animals as he is practicing.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Visual style and narrative structure don't conflict here — they work together. It's noticeable and creates a sense of wholeness.

Worth watching for the overall quality of execution. Not a genre landmark — but solid work that respects the viewer.

For viewers who watch a lot and can distinguish craft from accident.

Director: Isao Takahata
