If you loved Whisper of the Heart, try Erased
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 Yuichiro Hirakawa. If that's the register that drew you to Whisper of the Heart, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Erased is
1988, Chiba. A squeal of tires. Satoru, a pizza cook, possesses a grim gift: involuntary time-jumps to avert disaster. When his mother is murdered, Satoru leaps back to his childhood, just before the kidnapping of a young classmate. A nifty premise elevates this above routine J-thriller fare.
