文青傳頌不朽必看電影，十九年後再度重返台灣大銀幕|
改編自知名作家村上春樹同名小說收錄自<萊辛頓的幽靈>
一代大師坂本龍一傾力譜下經典配樂

有著古怪名字的東尼瀧谷，孤獨是他早已落實的生活模式。直到愛上美麗且熱情的女子英子，冰冷的內心被愛情融化，卻也感受到害怕會失去她，而英子的自由靈魂和無法控制的揮霍，使兩人之間關係逐漸起了變化。改編村上春樹短篇小說《萊辛頓的幽靈》其中篇章〈東尼瀧谷〉，已故名導市川準以冷冽獨到的電影語法，將簡短的文字轉化成扣人心弦的影像，打破了「村上作品不能改編成電影」的魔咒，於盧卡諾影展世界首映後獲得一致好評，並奪下評審團特別獎，同時也助正值轉型期的宮澤理惠演技更上層樓。一代音樂大師?本龍一的經典配樂，與電影畫面融合至無懈可擊，而事隔多年，才與村上春樹小說改編電影「有緣」的男星西島秀俊，以不現身只出聲的沉穩旁白，成為全片最畫龍點睛的神來一筆。

Tony Takitani is based on the novel of the same title by Murakami Haruki and directed in his characteristic understated style by Ichikawa Jun, the director of Osaka Story and Ryoma's Wife, Her Husband and Her Lover.
Tony Takitani's mother died shortly after he was born and Tony has always been alone, but never really felt lonely. Later in life he finds himself working as an illustrator and falls in love with Eiko (Miyazawa Rie), an editor who often comes to his place to pick up work. Tony and Eiko get married and live together happily, but there is one problem: Eiko is addicted to shopping for clothes. Whenever she sees an outfit she likes in a boutique, she just has to buy it. She tries to cure herself of her addiction, but the effort makes her mentally unstable and she dies in a traffic accident. Tony employs a woman named Hisako (Miyazawa Rie in a different role) as a secretary so that someone can wear Eiko's extensive wardrobe. However, Hisako bursts into tears when she sees Eiko's clothes. Through Eiko's death and Hisako's tears Tony realizes the meaning of "loneliness" for the first time in his life.
