The Little Girl Who Conquered Time (1983)

Well. I didn’t dislike it. But the direction is silly and details of the story are often unclear or confusing. I am tempted to say that it verges on camp.

This seems to be the first film version of the story and is apparently quite popular in Japan. Perhaps I would have more to say about it if I hadn’t already seen the recent (and internationally popular) anime version; but alas my mind can’t help but make the comparison and be terribly underwhelmed by and uninterested in this original.
