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 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.
