If you loved The Island Closest to Heaven, try Émotion
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 Nobuhiko Obayashi, and they both carry the surreal, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Island Closest to Heaven, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Émotion is
Cityside, late summer. A child's skipping rope. Emi's double appears to her as an older girl's vision, a doppelganger in the adult world, maybe a vampire's thrall. Is any of it real? Obayashi's avant-garde origins are on full display.
