5/22/2023 0 Comments Norwegian wood by haruki murakami![]() ![]() ![]() Norwegian Wood is the Murakami book that I think shouldn't be used as an introduction to his worlk. Sadly, this movie is simply too long for such an intimate story, especially with its many digressions that help to slow the pace to a crawl in places.Ī lovely adaptation of Murakami's astonishing novel. Just as Toru uses books to keep the chaos of the outside world at bay, others use recent trauma to keep emotions at bay. On the other hand, the characters talk a great game when it comes to sex but are less able when it comes down to doing the deed or falling in love for that matter. On the one hand, "Norwegian Wood" could be considered a thoughtful meditation on young people's first encounter with death, finding out the hard way that there is no way to compete with the dead. ![]() After Kikuchi's suicide, Toru migrates to the side of Nagasawa(Tetsuji Tamayama), a ladies' man, in search of more knowledge about the opposite sex. With Kizuki and Naoko(Rinko Kikuchi) being well-nigh inseparable, Toru does not mind playing third wheel to them. In "Norwegian Wood," Toru(Ken'ichi Matsuyama) is best friends with Kizuki(Kengo Kora). ![]()
