If you loved Control Tower, try Solanin
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 Takahiro Miki, and they sit in Drama / Music / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Control Tower, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Solanin is
The camera captures a pair of aimless twentysomethings in Tokyo until one quits her office job to chase music dreams. Two years of postgraduate drift might become a band’s lifeline. A pity the film keeps so much of their struggle offscreen.
