If you loved Ornamental Hairpin, try Mr. Thank You
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 Comedy / 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.
What Mr. Thank You is
A bus driver’s daily route becomes an accidental anthology of Depression-era Japan, ferrying a village of oddballs who probably should’ve walked. Between breakdowns and flirtations, the art of thank-you collides with the cost of politeness. A reminder that even the shortest trips contain more personalities than a city bus in rush hour.
