If you loved Flowers, try Midnight Sun

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 Norihiro Koizumi, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Flowers, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Midnight Sun is

Romeo and Juliet if one had xeroderma pigmentosum. A young woman with a rare sun allergy falls for a boy she watches each night from her window. It's sentimental Japanese melodrama, elevated by Erika Sawajiri's luminous performance.
