If you loved Hirugao, try Matinee
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 Hiroshi Nishitani, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hirugao, 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.
