影片改编自柯秋宾斯基的同名抒情小说。导演把情节拆散为“伊凡和玛丽奇卡”、花女“波洛尼纳”、花女“孤独”、“伊凡和巴拉格娜”、“日常生活”、“圣诞”、“春在明天”、“雷雨”、“小酒店”、“伊凡之死”、“虔诚的仪式”等11个单元，讲述了主人公伊凡两阙刻骨铭心的爱情悲歌：先是女主人公玛丽奇卡在寻找伊凡的途中不幸坠河而死，后有另一位女主人公巴拉格娜背叛伊凡，故事最后以伊凡死于情敌手下而结束。本片是典型的诗电影，以独特的风格展现了民族探索生存道路的景象，窥探了民族内在意识的活动和变化。影片以出神入化的方式混合细腻的纪录场面和巴洛克华丽的视觉效果。透过主角情感的引导，漩涡式的叙事方式，穿梭于奇幻真实之间。摄影机像是着魔似地，将观众带进他们神秘的梦境。影片上映后曾遭禁演，但在压力下，随即解禁。

回复 :Amiko isn’t like other children. Her endless energy and curious eccentricities make her an outcast at school and get her in trouble at home. When a painful family loss disrupts her seemingly idyllic seaside life, her sense of isolation intensifies, yet it doesn’t stop Amiko from inviting people into her world.Morii Yusuke’s directorial debut is a confident and compassionate story about a child’s imagination. The film balances sorrow with joy and harsh lessons with naive delight – much like growing up. Crucially, Amiko never forgets who is at the centre of the story. The wry humour and detailed compositions of small-town Japan, as well as the film’s hopeful tenor, are reminiscent of Ogigami Naoko or Hirokazu Kore-eda’s works. The gentle and languorous atmosphere is enriched by a score from upcoming folk star Ichiko Aoba.Kana Osawa delivers an exquisite, force-of-nature performance as young Amiko. Effortlessly natural, her commanding presence and vitality carry great weight whilst ensuring the film never falls into despair. Amiko’s unbeaten spirit in the face of tired adults and uncooperative classmates lets us go through the pain, as well as experience flashes of mischievous whimsy, alongside a spiriting musical sequence that will ensure you’ll never listen to a conga drum the same way.
