If you loved La Maison de Himiko, try Touch
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 Isshin Inudo, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La Maison de Himiko, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Touch is
Here's a film that understands the appeal of sibling rivalry, and exploits it. The story tracks twins Tatsuya and Kazuya, both vying for the affections of their neighbor Minami, who dreams of Koshien glory. It's a love triangle, set against the backdrop of high school baseball. Of course it is.
