Japanese rock quartet Radwimps returns to pen the music and score for Weathering With You, with poppy instrumental tracks that accompany a plot that always feels like it’s moving with purpose. Every inch of Weathering With You’s world feels as lived-in and daunting as a real city, juxtaposing the picturesque with the commonplace in a way that infuses every location with its own sense of allure and charm. What’s more impressive than the film’s rendition of glitzy interiors and bustling thoroughfares is its fawning attention to the more mundane and dilapidated corners of the city. Shinkai’s affection for rendering metropolitan Japan in lovingly scrupulous detail is nothing new to longtime followers of his work and he stays true to form with this film’s depiction of Tokyo. Unsurprisingly, Weathering With You is gorgeous.
Soon enough, however, the mounting consequences of both Hodaka’s choices and Hina’s powers grow to imperil not only the lives of the young couple but those of the entire city, and a fateful choice must be made. Together with Hina’s younger brother Nagi, the trio begin to sell Hina’s services to would-be buyers, bringing light and warmth to the city. Assigned to write a story on a mysterious girl rumored to be able to control the weather, Hodaka inevitably crosses paths with Hina, an orphan whose outstanding abilities prove to be true. It’s been raining across the city for two months straight, and with little money and no legal means of work, Hodaka accepts a job as a live-in assistant to Suga, the gruff editor of a fringe conspiracy rag. Whether it’s angst or wanderlust, there’s something brewing inside of young Hodaka, driving him to move forward and never look back with little in the way of an answer why.
Set in contemporary Japan, the film follows Hodaka Morishima, a 16-year-old runaway who flees from his remote hometown to eke out a living in Tokyo. After a meteoric effort like Your Name, what could Shinkai possibly do to follow up what many call his most career-defining work to date? The answer to that question is Weathering With You, yet another love story of magical circumstances, albeit one marred by a confoundedly fatalistic message at its core. But with success comes its own challenges. 2016’s Your Name was nothing if not a fine-honing of these aesthetic sensibilities, the result of which was a film whose critical and commercial success vaulted Shinkai’s already considerable reputation to yet greater heights. Heart-sullen teenagers, lilting piano ballads, and intricately detailed settings dappled in golden hour lighting. From his self-produced debut Voices of a Distant Star to 2013’s Garden of Words, the elements of a Shinkai-helmed film have become so idiosyncratic as to be rote.
