Absolutely gorgeous movie about a musician rekinding his passion. The story itself is not new (nor was it in 1982), but the delivery is absolutely brilliant. The soundtrack and art direction are top of the line, which makes sense since it's a movie about a musician, under the ghibli tag, and the mind of Miyazaki behind it. The movie is very simple, very straightforward, yet we're immediately drawn in from the very first second and it's hard not to go along for the ride as we see Gauche reconnect with his passion and his emotions as we see all the different characters that come visit him inhis musical journey.

Definitely recommend to both musicians and nonmusicians alike. I feel like it can be relatable on many levels regardless of your background, and at the very least, it's a beautiful movie.
