In a Distant Time (2006)
One rainy day, Akane crosses path with a kind young man who tacitly offers to her his coat. On their second encounter, he confesses that he has no recollection of who he is, his name or his past, but feels contented by just being with her. Besotted, Akane sets out to find his name, and to unravel his enigmatic connection with a famous cursed dance rumoured to kill anyone who attempts to perform it.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
