Review: Vampire Princess Miyu tells an intensely Japanese story of duty (Miyu's curse comes from her mother's attempt to save her child from her clan's duty) and the tragic transience of beauty (the Japanese concept of "mono no aware'' --- shown by both the characters who seek immortality, and those who have achieved it while losing everything else). Almost every character in these films says something that you will think about for days after. The films bear repeated viewings. Some may be frustrated by the fact that these films consist almost entirely of character development and atmosphere --- very little actually happens, the films have the stately, otherworldly pace of a Noh drama. But others will be bowled over by the imagery and the poetry.
