If you loved Hand, try Daily Lives of High School Boys
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 Daigo Matsui, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hand, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Daily Lives of High School Boys is
Three boys fixate on girls with the precision of scientists studying extraterrestrial life, then panic when co-ed chaos erupts during a joint school festival. Their earnest fumblings—awkward confessions, misread signals, and overengineered schemes—unfold with the subtlety of a fire alarm in a library. It’s less a rom-com than a documentary about hormonal confusion wearing a blazer.
