If you loved Chikan densha: Iyarashii kôi, try Rafureshia
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 Hisayasu Satō, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Chikan densha: Iyarashii kôi, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Rafureshia is
Failing just to fail, two women pool their regrets and a wad of stolen yen with the same optimism you’d use to set a match to wet kindling. One wrong turn in a neon-lit parking lot blooms into a weeklong detour through strip malls and peep shows. The highway home never shows up.
