If you loved Seven Weeks, try Hanagatami
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 Nobuhiko Obayashi, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Seven Weeks, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Hanagatami is
Apparently war dramas can be pretty. Toshihiko attends school in a coastal town. It politely meanders through adolescence and wartime.
