Tony Takitani (2004)



When technical illustrator Tony Takitani asks his wife to resist her all-consuming obsession for designer clothes, the consequences are tragic.

Quiet, subdued adaptation of a Haruki Murakami tale which creates a lyrical tone of its own, wonderfully photographed.

P.S.: Made me want to read the story, so I ordered the book.

Thanks so much for the recommendations, I'll certainly be looking into them. I got my copy of Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman today.
Love your blog! Found it through a post you made at The Fashion Spot:-)
