Title (English) A Tree of Palme

Title (Japanese) Palme no Ki

Advertising
Fantasy Novel

Notes Movie, 2001, 136 mins.

Classification SF

Synopsis Palme is a puppet created by a man to care for his sickly wife. After her death Palme becomes paralyzed with sorrow, that is, until a woman being pursed happens to cross paths with Palme and his creator and ask them to deliver something precious to a sacred place called Tama. Palme, mistaking her for his master's late wife, accepts the request. This becomes his first step to becoming more human in order to understand his own feelings. (ANN)

Review I bought it because I remembered seeing it reviewed as being very good but neglected. I had an idea it was some fey period drama, but this turned out to be completely wrong! It's set in a totally imagined fantasy world - cue major weirdness... If you remember the "Kaiba" TV series, it's a bit like that. As this is the only anime it resembles in the slightest, it will be interesting to find out if there is any connection. The designs are beautiful. And Palme is a wooden puppet.
