If you loved Bumpkin Soup, try The Japanese Belly Button

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

Theysit in Comedy / Music territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bumpkin Soup, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Japanese Belly Button is

Helen’s confession stunt sounds like a nervy party game until the rehearsal doubles as the performance. Her troupe stages a public stumbling toward fluency that collapses into farce. A freewheeling fable where stage fright and stagecraft refuse to stay in their boxes.
