Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, romantics and fantasy fans. If you loved The Secret Garden or Edward Scissorhands, start here.
The mood
Tense, warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1960: an older pace and style.

A tax collector posted to a small town puts up at a mansion feared by the locals because it is haunted. As time passes he grows more consumed by the mansion and its air of romance, and the spirits that haunt it, especially a beautiful woman. Adapted from a Rabindranath Tagore story.
