If you loved Laplace's Witch, try Ace Attorney
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 Takashi Miike, and they sit in Crime / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to Laplace's Witch, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ace Attorney is
Miami courtroom humid enough to wilt wigs. A rookie attorney’s first acquittal hinges on a magatama’s jingling. The judge’s pen scratches louder than the gavel. Flash of a ghostly hand, ink-stained fingers tight on a brooch. Maya’s voice slips between séances and scowls as she trades bodies with her sister’s ghost. Miike rides the twitchy beats of a shōnen shōnen courtroom.
