I had no idea there was a film adaption of "Norwegian Wood", the beautiful book by Haruki Murakami that I read a couple of years ago, until I by chance came across the trailer for the movie. I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with the book, but it's set in Japan in the 60s where 20-year-old Toru Watanabe is a student. He begins a friendship/relationship with his deceased best friend's girlfriend, Naoko, and they grow quite close, but she suddenly goes away to a sanatorium. While she is away Toru also becomes attracted to Midori who he studies with. The book is about love, emotions, sadness and is written in such a beautiful language. As for the movie (judging by the trailer), it seems so, so beautiful. I really can't wait for it to be out here in March.

oh wow this is awesome! I'll have to re-read the book before watching it :)
I love Haruki Murakami but I haven't had the time to read all of his books. I've read Dance Dance Dance and Kafka on the Shore. I love how expansive his imagination is, he isn't held back by what is impossible or what would be seen as simply mad. I must read Norwegian Wood before I watch this film.

This looks really cute, but I would def want to read the book before hand. Thanks for posting it. x
Now you've made me really curious...I will search for that book on the local library, thank's!
It looks great! I haven't read the book yet.
Actually read that book last year I will make sure I watch the movie. Glad I found this!
