If you loved Matinee, try Hirugao
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 both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Matinee, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Hirugao is
A film that picks up where a TV drama left off, for those who wanted more. A former teacher, Kitano, arrives in a coastal town where his old flame Sasamoto now lives, testing their resolve. The forbidden passions neither can seem to shake duly reignite.
