SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like 9 Souls, it turns a modest criminal predicament into a warm, intricately interlocking ensemble piece, balancing deadpan humor, mounting complications, and genuine affection for its drifting characters.
02
Why this pick
A scruffy, funny, humane portrait of an ordinary misfit gradually finding resolve. It shares 9 Souls’ loose-limbed warmth and empathy for people society has left on the margins.
03
Why this pick
For 9 Souls’ offbeat Japanese humor and everyday underdogs: this is another gently absurd, deadpan adventure where an unremarkable life is transformed by a bizarre criminal assignment.
04
Why this pick
SABU’s comic-crime sensibility similarly mixes panic, coincidence, and sympathy for a hapless man in over his head. Its brisker, more formally playful structure makes a sharp companion to 9 Souls.
05
Why this pick
It shares the film’s shaggy rhythm and fondness for eccentric, emotionally stalled people. Rather than crime-driven suspense, its pleasures are awkward friendship, low-key absurdity, and gradual human connection.
