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 Shimizu, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ornamental Hairpin, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
