If you loved Office Ladies: Lesbians in Uniforms 3, try Summer Vacation 1999

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 Shusuke Kaneko, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Office Ladies: Lesbians in Uniforms 3, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Summer Vacation 1999 is

Rural Japan, cicada song. Empty dormitories become fever-dream playground for three boys left behind. A fourth appears, a double of their dead classmate. Ghosts of old jealousies now stalk the halls. Kaneko's uncanny, pre-horror tale is ripe for rediscovery.
