Time Out Chicago / Issue 167 : May 8–14, 2008

DVD review

Honey and Clover

Dir. Masahiro Takada. 2006. N/R. 117mins. VIZ Media. Available Tue 13 ($24.98). Sho Sakurai, Yu Aoi, Yusuke Iseya, Ryo Kase.

Adapted from a popular manga series—which also has been reworked into both anime and live-action TV shows—Honey and Clover is another Japanese coming-of-age drama that goes heavy on whimsy. Set in and around an art school, the movie is the antithesis of Art School Confidential; the title is derived from Emily Dickinson: “To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee.” Although the film has its share of funny-true moments—as when a student imagines himself arrested for stalking his crush—the mawkishness grows tiresome over the long haul.
