If you loved Gachi Boy: Wrestling with a Memory, try Chihayafuru: Part II
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.
Gachi Boy: Wrestling with a Memory
Chihayafuru: Part II
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Norihiro Koizumi, and they both carry the foreign gem, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gachi Boy: Wrestling with a Memory, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Chihayafuru: Part II is
Here we have a film about the importance of competitive karuta. Chihaya and her friends advance to the nationals, but she struggles with the news that her childhood friend has quit the game. She must also face a new rival, the reigning female champion. Anyway, she reexamines her love of karuta.
