If you loved The Man from the Sea, try Sayonara
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 Koji Fukada, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Man from the Sea, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
slow burn
What Sayonara is
Playwright meets robotics lab to build a grieving trio the android can’t console. Two widowed strangers enlist the uncanny double for a farewell ritual. A quietly eerie meditation on presence, enacted by flesh and code in a sunlit condo.
