If you loved The Night is Short, Walk on Girl, try Lu e la città delle sirene
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 Masaaki Yuasa, and they both carry the playful, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Night is Short, Walk on Girl, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Lu e la città delle sirene is
Another day, another town full of superstitious fishermen learning music saves lives. A sullen teen in a fading seaside village befriends a chirpy mermaid who sings J-pop with alarming enthusiasm. The animation wobbles like it’s seasick, but somehow the whole thing stays afloat.
