If you loved Ichiko, try Midsummer's Equation
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
Theysit in Drama / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ichiko, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Midsummer's Equation is
Crisp October. A walkway by a tsunami wall. A physics paper flutters into the surf. A physicist on a coastal panel finds a corpse outside his inn. The dead man’s links to the innkeeper’s activist daughter—and a sharp-elbowed boy glimpsed on the train—begin to knot. Masaharu Fukuyama treats the Sherlockian puzzle to a post-Fukushima chill.
