Harmonium

For the appeal of 100 Yen Love’s restrained realism and pressure-filled domestic spaces, this offers an even tenser, patiently observed portrait of lives disrupted.
04
Fish Story
Why this pick
Its energetic, eccentric humor and affection for apparent losers offer a lighter companion to 100 Yen Love, while still finding unexpected power in people dismissed by others.
05
Birds Without Names
