If you loved Typhoon Club, 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 bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Typhoon Club, 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.
