If you loved 1/2 Man, try August in the Water
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Gakuryu Ishii, and they both carry the surreal mood tag. If that's the register that drew you to 1/2 Man, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What August in the Water is
Tokyo seaside. Cicada rasp. A dropped ice cream. A beachside accident unleashes strange new powers in a young swimmer. Her changed body becomes a source of fear, fascination, and possible connection to cosmic forces. Gakuryu Ishii pivots, unexpectedly, toward shōjo manga's mystical preoccupations.
