about the film

Movie poster Your Name, or 君の名は (Kimi no Na wa), is a 2016 animated film directed and written by Makoto Shinkai. The film peformed exceptionally well; it is among the highest-grossing Japanese films of all time.

The story follows two Japanese teenagers: Mitsuha, who lives in rural Itomori, and Taku, who lives in Tokyo. One day they wake up in each other's bodies, and from that time forward they begin experiencing one another's lives. The film follows their burgeoning relationship and the mystery of their connection.

The film is scored by the Japanese band RADWIMPS, who also provided the insert songs. Even if I didn't love the film for its beautiful animation and emotional plot I'd strongly recommend the soundtrack.
