If you loved Kitaro, try Drugstore Girl
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 Katsuhide Motoki. If that's the register that drew you to Kitaro, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Drugstore Girl is
Veterinary science and romantic disaster collide when Keiko flees her cheating boyfriend aboard a train bound for nowhere special. An accidental stop lands her behind the counter of a suburban drugstore where the neighborhood’s crusty regulars suddenly rediscover team sports. Their lacrosse league blossoms in inverse proportion to Keiko’s love life.
