This is an extraordinary film. Very very good even though such a difficult topic.
I get that it’s not for everyone because of the topic - so be warned, it’s a sad and very difficult to watch film about issues in society, health care, and the modern world overall. It’s not a thriller / investigation/ crime / suspense or mystery story, not at all. But it’s beautifully shot, well acted and music well selected.
This is a good film - it definitely deserves a lot more viewers!
I have just seen it in Manchester (Uk) few days ago, part of the Japan Foundation Film Touring Programme. (If anyone is in the Uk - the rest of the programme is worth checking out too!! https://www.jpf-film.org.uk/films/twilight-cinema-blues )
It’s melancholy and still funny at the same time and shows darker parts of society too. I think you love films and cinema you will most likely love this film. I read in some review that it’s a feel good film - I personally would not agree with that, although it is not overly dark due to the overall way of how it is written and the humour.
I hope this is coming to a cinema near me soon! For some reason UK cinemas (apart from London I guess!!) are a bit narrow on the range of international films they screen or the film is just on for a few days only or sometimes even just once :-(
Shame I can’t be in Berlin this time.
I’ve never managed to go to one of the big premieres. People who are lucky enough to get to go should go to some of the small independent cinemas in town, that part of the programme (“Berlinale goes Kiez”) is always great!! - good programme, lots of interesting international films (you can search the programme by country!) and interesting places! :-)

Definitely worth going to see in the cinema.

Here is a good review (see below) - but don’t read before you go watch it if you’re interested - there are some spoilers about the main characters background story!
