Toki o Kakeru Shōjo is a 1997 Japanese science fiction romance drama film directed by Haruki Kadokawa, with a screenplay by Kadokawa, Ryōji Itō and Chiho Katsura. It is the second live-action film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Yasutaka Tsutsui. The film stars beginner actress Nana Nakamoto in the main role, and is narrated by the previous adaptation's lead actress Tomoyo Harada. Its story is set in 1965, the year of the novel's initial publication; to emphasize this, the film was shot in black and white. The film poster was used as the new cover for the 1997 edition of the novel. Toki o Kakeru Shōjo was theatrically released on November 8, 1997, in Japan.

Production

Shooting lasted for 12 days. The film was shot on location in Hida, Kōbōyama Kofun and Matsumoto Fukashi High School. Kadokawa's parents' house in Ogikubo, Tokyo was used for the protagonist's home.

A poem by Emily Dickinson plays an important role in the film's screenplay, despite not featuring in the original novel or the 1983 adaptation. Screenwriters Itō and Katsura selected it as they thought the poem was a fitting metaphor for the story overall; Kadokawa agreed to let them use it, as Kadokawa Shoten had published a collection of Dickinson's poems during his tenure at the company.
