If you loved Every Trick In The Book, try Aka Medaka
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Hideta Takahata, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Every Trick In The Book, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Aka Medaka is
Comic storytellers battle ticket scalpers in the neon glow of Tokyo’s underground scene. A starstruck boy’s childhood crush on the legendary Danshi sparks a career of bitter rivalry, accidental mentorship, and one man’s quest to reclaim the spotlight. A pity the pacing drags like a stubborn joke halfway told.
