If you loved The Lines that Define Me, try Chihayafuru: Part II
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 Norihiro Koizumi, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Lines that Define Me, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
