If you loved Ripples, try Riverside Mukolitta
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 Naoko Ogigami, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ripples, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Riverside Mukolitta is
Somewhere in Tokyo, a man in his thirties unpacks into a building that hasn’t moved an inch since 1972. One elevator ride later he’s looped into a parade of neighbors who treat daily misery like party tricks. The film settles for charm when it could have ignited fireworks.
