Orange

Orange (2015) — watch online on iFILM — a Japanese high-school drama adapted from Ichigo Takano's manga, starring Tao Tsuchiya and Kento Yamazaki.

Early in a new school year, Naho finds a letter in her bag — written by herself, ten years in the future. It warns her about a newly transferred classmate named Kakeru and asks her to stay close to him, because one year from now he will not be alive. The film uses the time-travel device sparingly; it is really about the difficulty of watching someone slip away and the guilt of not doing enough. At 139 minutes the pacing is gentle, but the performances give it weight. Stream Orange (2015) on iFILM.
