The verdict
Audiences rate it 6.8 out of 10 on TMDB across 43 votes — a solid score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. Category IIA · 115 minutes.
What it is about
A former couple remembers their most intimate days, only to part once again. A bittersweet love story inspired by a Jim Jarmusch masterpiece, set in times of the COVID-19 pandemic.
What to expect
Daigo Matsui structures this Japanese romance around a couple's shared birthday, jumping back through their relationship in reverse. The taxi-driver framing nods to Jim Jarmusch, but the movie's texture is its own — quiet, pandemic-era Tokyo, two people who can't quite hold on to what they had. Sosuke Ikematsu and Sairi Ito carry the weight without melodrama. At 115 minutes it asks for patience, and the 6.8 audience score from 43 votes suggests it lands better with viewers who prefer observation over payoff. Rated IIA. In Japanese with English and Chinese subtitles. This is a bcSunday screening, so check listings for venue and session times.
