Angel in September

About This Movie

So, 'Angel in September' dives deep into the quiet lives of two young women, Hitomi and Eriko, who develop this intense bond after a chance encounter. The film's tone is quite intimate—almost dreamlike in its pacing. You really feel the weight of their existential musings, as they grapple with identity and their supposed past lives as angel warriors. The performances are subtle yet impactful; you can sense the layers of their emotional struggles. There's this unique use of practical effects that adds a tangible quality to their imagined world, making it distinct from the more polished offerings of the era. It’s a quiet exploration of love, belief, and the harshness of reality, and I think that’s what gives it a unique flavor.

Fascinating exploration of reincarnation themes. · Strong character-driven narrative. · Atmospheric visuals add to the dreamlike quality.
