If you loved Children in the Wind, try Mr. Thank You
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 Hiroshi Shimizu, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Children in the Wind, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Mr. Thank You is
A bus driver’s daily route becomes an accidental anthology of Depression-era Japan, ferrying a village of oddballs who probably should’ve walked. Between breakdowns and flirtations, the art of thank-you collides with the cost of politeness. A reminder that even the shortest trips contain more personalities than a city bus in rush hour.
