About This Movie

Until Spring Comes is an interesting piece that explores the complexities of love and loss. The story unfolds in Kamakura, and you really feel the seasons change, which mirrors the emotional journey of the characters. The widow is caught between her responsibilities and the unexpected affection of a middle-aged man, which adds layers to the narrative. It’s quiet and contemplative, with a pacing that allows you to soak in the visuals and the lingering silences. The performances have a raw honesty, especially the way she navigates her feelings while caring for her father-in-law and son. The practical effects of the changing seasons are pretty stunning too, giving you a real sense of time passing and the inevitability of change.
