The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (1983) at Metro Cinema

After his great success with HAUSU, legendary filmmaker Nobuhiko Obayashi was given the notoriety to start dabbling in the mainstream. His adaptation of the electrifyingly popular, and sentimental and sweepingly romantic, 1967 Japanese novel THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME was the first adaptation of Yasutaka Tsutsi’s book, and was the second highest grossing Japanese film in its release year of 1983.

After breaking a beaker at school that releases a lavender-like scent causing student Yoshiyama Kazuko to faint, she wakes up the following morning with the ability to travel through time.
