If you loved Hard-Core, try One Second Ahead, One Second Behind
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 Nobuhiro Yamashita, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hard-Core, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What One Second Ahead, One Second Behind is
A romantic comedy about mismatched timing, literally. Hajime, a post-office worker always one second ahead, and Reika, who falls one second behind, meet over forgotten chocolates. The film figured out love doesn't need perfect synchronization, just shared calendars.
