If you loved Thermae Romae II, try Thermae Romae
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 Hideki Takeuchi, and they sit in Comedy / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Thermae Romae II, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Thermae Romae is
Here's a film about cultural exchange, of sorts. A Roman bath architect travels through time to modern Japan, cribbing their bathing tech. He returns to ancient Rome and becomes a celebrated innovator. It’s essentially a fish-out-of-water comedy, but with more loincloths.
