If you loved The Man with the Magic Box, try Thermae Romae II

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

Theysit in Comedy / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Man with the Magic Box, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Thermae Romae II is

One man’s trip to ancient Rome and modern Japan suggests cultural plumbing is the true universal language. A bath designer jumps centuries to convince Romans that soaking beats stabbings, and also that bidets are nice. Trouble is, the whole city soon resembles the world’s most expensive spa.
