If you loved It's Me It's Me, try Thermae Romae
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 Comedy / Drama / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to It's Me It's Me, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Thermae Romae is
Here's a film about cultural exchange, of sorts. A Roman bath architect travels through time to modern Japan, cribbing their bathing tech. He returns to ancient Rome and becomes a celebrated innovator. It’s essentially a fish-out-of-water comedy, but with more loincloths.
