If you loved Aka Medaka, try Every Trick In The Book
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Hideta Takahata, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Aka Medaka, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Every Trick In The Book is
Toyama’s winter streets, crunch of snow under 9 p.m. headlights. A driver sweeps up a perfect counterfeit, his shift ending. The next morning the lot is empty, the doves silent. He flees, editor trails the vanished family, the canceled postal route, a sky stuffed with false yen. Facts twist into fiction, then back. A 2021 neo-noir that darkens its own source.
