If you loved Beyond the Memories, try Heavenly Forest
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Takehiko Shinjo, and they sit in Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Beyond the Memories, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Heavenly Forest is
A shy photographer discovers friendship in a homely classmate who pines in silence. Their university days spin out in sunlit corridors and quiet misunderstandings. Time passes, but not the awkward tenderness that defined them.
