If you loved El verano de Kikujiro, try Escenas en el mar
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Takeshi Kitano, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El verano de Kikujiro, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Escenas en el mar is
Takeshi Kitano directs, but also this is a romance? A young deaf man finds a surfboard and decides he will surf. His equally deaf girlfriend supports him. It's a very quiet film, one might say.
