If you loved Sailor Suit and Machine Gun, try Love Hotel
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 Shinji Sōmai, and they both carry the neon soaked mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sailor Suit and Machine Gun, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Love Hotel is
Here's one for the couples' therapists. A prostitute and a yakuza-adjacent married man meet for a transaction in a love hotel. Years later, they embark on an affair and return to the scene of the crime. It’s a film that believes in second chances, of a kind.
