If you loved Pour une épingle à cheveux, try Monsieur Merci
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Hiroshi Shimizu, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Pour une épingle à cheveux, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Monsieur Merci is
A bus driver’s daily route becomes an accidental anthology of Depression-era Japan, ferrying a village of oddballs who probably should’ve walked. Between breakdowns and flirtations, the art of thank-you collides with the cost of politeness. A reminder that even the shortest trips contain more personalities than a city bus in rush hour.
