If you loved The Island Closest to Heaven, try Emotion
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 The Island Closest to Heaven, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Emotion is
Cityside, late summer. A child's skipping rope. Emi's double appears to her as an older girl's vision, a doppelganger in the adult world, maybe a vampire's thrall. Is any of it real? Obayashi's avant-garde origins are on full display.
