When I was in college, I was reading novels in bed, watching the sunlight gradually drifting on the white wall in the afternoon, and I thought to myself, I want to open a bookstore too. Those who have this idea are destined to lose when they read this book, but they just cling to it, like an afternoon dream. The density of the novel is not large, and it is still in the film. A woman fails to open a bookstore in a town that doesn't need one, and that's the whole story. It starts like this, and...

Ochre dresses, Chinese lacquer dishes, coffee pots in padded jackets, 250 copies of Lolita, beaches in Harburg...so many lovely details. "-It is difficult for them to understand, because understanding makes the mind lazy.-No one has ever done such a noble thing for me." The sympathy of book friends, the persistence of ideals and original intentions, a good movie does not need to talk too much, just needs Talk less well. "In a bookstore, one is never...

What is the meaning of reading? Maybe it is more courage to face...

"Lolita" that can't be sold, "Dandelion Summer" that can't be read, "Mars Chronicle", the three Brontë sisters who were complained... "I just want to open a bookstore". A book and book lover's friendship strung this sad and depressed past but saw hope in the thorns. I didn't know the original work beforehand, but I thought it was an ebullient comedy when I saw the background of the cast; I thought that Julie Christie, who was narrating, actually played the old version of "Fahrenheit 451", time...

I like the line at the end of the movie "As long as there is a bookstore, people will not be alone". Is it ridiculous that the so-called high society's shameful decency was disintegrated by a small bookstore? Of course, but I feel more sad, because the real decent people will be trampled at the bottom of this absurd food chain, like Bill Nighy, the only gentleman in the movie. This town doesn't need a bookstore, and it needs Fei Wen from "The Tailor" to save...

@balmes's almost perfect presentation of the original book, the soggy and gray British depression in the book is balanced by the director's charming Spanish temperament, beautiful color matching and music, gentle and forbearing feelings (this scene is excellent) The short time that Lawrence spent with the bookstore added a touch of softness, and it made people feel more sympathetic after the difficult situation. The ending is a bit overdone, lacking a purely tragic aftertaste. (The narrator is...

British sketches. A widow who loves to read, in order to open a bookstore in an old house, she needs to resist the conservative forces in the whole town. The characters' love for books is a solution to the slow pace of the film and the monotony of the plot. This kind of courage of Akagi, as a certain spirit of the film, has touching power. The end credits pay tribute to John...

This is a very pure, elegant film, written, directed, and starred by women. Can you imagine? The villain competing with the bookstore is an art center, not a real estate...

The happiest and richest thing in the world should be to have a bookstore of its own in a small town with pleasant scenery and few...

I thought it was a warm story about a seaside town where no one was reading books, but I didn't expect it to be so heart-wrenching. The widow is full of hope to open a bookstore for her deceased husband, but it has become the target of public criticism. Although the movie shows the British tone and sense of ritual incisively and vividly, it still cannot hide the ugly faces of the town residents. "Civilized people" put down their so-called tone and tore their mask; the widow threw prejudice and...
