If you loved Hirugao : Love Affairs in the Afternoon, try Matinee
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Hiroshi Nishitani, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hirugao : Love Affairs in the Afternoon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Matinee is
A pianist and a journalist orbit each other like planets hedging collisions. Their romance fizzles as politely as one of those overpriced sodas sold in 1990s art-house foyers. It’s sweet enough to fill the lobby during intermission.
