Hana & Alice (2004) (Blu-ray) (Taiwan Version)

Product Description

The newest offering from director Iwai Shunji ( Love Letter, All About Lily Chou-Chou, April Story), Hana & Alice is a delicate comedy about two childhood friends who fall for the same guy. Secretly following Miyamoto (Kaku Tomohiro) after school one day, Hana (Suzuki An) sees him inadvertently run into a wall, & then collapse senseless on the ground. When he awakens, she convinces him that the bump on the head has given him amnesia, & that she is his girlfriend. In order to keep the fiction alive, Hana is forced to tell Miyamoto more lies, one of which leads to his falling for her best friend Alice (Aoi Yu). Caught between love & friendship, the girls relationship takes on a new tone as the two find themselves maturing into young adults. As we have come to expect, Iwais film is visually gorgeous, & its bittersweet reminiscences will weave their spell on viewers of all ages.
