Shashin kôshien 0.5 byô no natsu

"National High School Photography Championship Tournament", also known as "Shashin Koshien" is an event held annually in Higashikawa, Hokkaido, Japan's town of photography. Every summer, Shashin Koshien decides which school has the best photography club. Oyama, Sakura, and Mirai from Kansai Academy in Osaka were encouraged by their advisor to join with the aim of letting them experience "a world where people who are challenged could see". Meanwhile, Tsubakiyama Shota, a senior at Sakuragaoka Gakuen in Tokyo is the only member of his school's photography club. Other members resigned thinking that photography won't help in getting them to a university. In spite of principal Saeki objecting to his plans, Shota was still eager to join, forming a team with his childhood friend and a junior volunteer. With over 500 schools all over the country, only 18 schools would be chosen to participate in the event. Competitors fight to capture the beauty of Japan and the human spirit.

A good one-time watch. Yôko Akino is amazingl!

Great film! I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. It's a must watch!

This movie Rocks!!!! An ambush of engaging sequences that leaves you satisfied

This movie is one that I watch over and over. Being a fan of Shin'ichi Chiba acting, this is one of my favorite movies for his acting because he plays such a very interesting character! He's funny and plays the part well. The entire cast is perfectly cast and the story line is great. I highly recommend this movie.

The quintessential Drama movie. One of my favorite! A timeless classic, one of the best of all time.

This movie made me feel a range of emotions. It's been years since a movie made me these many ways.

Really glad I rented it was a great movie.

This movie was absolutely stunning, and I loved every minute of it
