If you loved In the Wake, try My Friend "A"
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 Takahisa Zeze, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to In the Wake, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What My Friend "A" is
Spring. A cramped newsroom’s hum, fluorescent and tired. Masuda tapes a mini-recorder beneath his desk. Suzuki’s smile too polished, his jokes too sharp—something notched wrong. A horror-trope in neon—nineteen-nineties pink and teal.
