Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Based on a manga cartoon, Ken Mikai's Last Quarter, is a live-action fantasy film with some advanced CG, making it stylistically similar to Harry Potter movies. The plot, too, is like Harry Potter's, in that teenagers navigate dream realms using magical detective work. On Mizuki Mochizuki's (Chiaki Kuriyama of Kill Bill fame) 18th birthday, she discovers that her boyfriend, Tomoki (Hiroki Narimiya) has cheated on her with her best friend. Also depressed about her mother's suicide, Mizuki runs away, and wanders into a house haunted by a spirit with whom she falls in love. Placed under a powerful spell, and consequently suffering an accident, she is hospitalized and physically near death, while her spirit remains active in the world where her ghost love lives. Multiple friends, including Tomoki and girlfriend, Hotari Shiraishi (Tomoka Kurokawa), search for ways to bring her back, which ultimately means reinvigorating her will to live. The Goth plot, not to mention the cute Goth Japanese clothes worn by the actors, makes Last Quarter the quintessential film for depressed teens. Last Quarter's positive message reminds the viewer that love conquers all hardship, and that true love is worth fighting for. --Trinie Dalton

Description:
Do you believe in love after death? On the eve of her 19th birthday, Mizuki (Kuriyama) doesn't have a lot to celebrate about. Her mother recently committed suicide, her stepfamily bothers her, her boyfriend has been cheating on her and her best friend has betrayed her. Hurt and disillusioned, Mizuki runs from everything and is drawn by some unknown force to a dilapidated estate. Deep within the house Mizuki discovers the mysterious Adam (Hyde), playing a hauntingly familiar melody on the guitar. Melancholy and full of secrets, it seems that Adam, and the house, have a strange, irresistible link to Mizuki. Can Mizuki's boyfriend and a couple of well-meaning schoolchildren uncover the secret of what happened 19 years ago and free Mizuki before the last quarter of the moon falls?

Customer Reviews

Excellent movie that is beautifully made... 5 out of 5 stars
I bought this movie because I am a fan of Hyde, but it is definitely worth watching even if you're not a Hyde fan. Last Quarter is a tragic supernatual love story about lost love, life, death, and rebirth. The cinematography and music are high-quality and beautiful. The acting is even better than most other Japanese movies I've seen. The actors fit the characters very well. I was close to crying at some points of the movie, and the characters are realistic enough that I could relate to them well. ... Read More
