Pastoral Japan serves as the backdrop for this delightful film based on the autobiography of children's book illustrator Seizo Tashima and his twin brother, Yukihiko. Set shortly after World War II, the movie chronicles the pair's exploits as 8-year-olds (played by Keigo and Shogo Matsuyama). With an undercurrent of growing pains, the twins do what boys typically do: skinny-dip, go angling and cause mischief as they explore the world around them. (Netflix)

There's a fair bit of sentimental nostalgia, but it does have more to offer. I liked the periodic intrusion of supernatural forces but near the end of the film they start to figure too heavily in the plot & detract from the story a bit. Something I thought gave a real feeling of authenticity was the way the poverty of the kids was constantly evident but never commented upon; they just take it for granted.
