If you loved Kamikaze Girls, try Paco and the Magical Book
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Paco and the Magical Book hat ungefähr 10.4× Stimmen weniger als Kamikaze Girls — ein tieferer Cut, keine Mainstream-Empfehlung. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Tetsuya Nakashima, and they both carry the playful, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kamikaze Girls, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Paco and the Magical Book is
Nakashima apparently felt the world needed a live-action cartoon. A motley crew of hospital patients stage a play for a young girl who loses her memory every day. It's either deeply moving or deeply annoying, depending on your tolerance for whimsy.
