If you loved The Magic Hour, try A Ghost of a Chance

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 Koki Mitani, and they both carry the foreign gem, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Magic Hour, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Ghost of a Chance is

Autumn drizzle on the courthouse steps. A black umbrella twists in the wind. The defence attorney’s file bulges with a 16th-century revenant’s signed confession—ink still damp as yesterday. One question: did a ghost murder a billionaire? A dead man’s wigged spectre drifts into the dock, adjusting his collar before the judge can rap the gavel. Mitani’s mid-air legal farce where paper fans become exhibits and ghostwriters rewrite verdicts.
