Au Revoir Taipei
Why this pick
Like Hospitalité, it finds comic unease in a tightly knit urban community, using an ensemble of odd encounters and gentle social observation rather than broad punchlines.

Tampopo
Why this pick
A playful Japanese ensemble comedy that turns everyday commerce and neighbourly contact into a vivid social microcosm, with the same alertness to manners, outsiders, and comic disruption.
03
Sawako Decides
Why this pick
This dry, observant comedy shares Hospitalité’s interest in timid people under pressure, awkward group dynamics, and the quietly surreal demands that communal life places on an individual.
04
A Gentle Breeze in the Village
Why this pick
Its unhurried, lightly comic attention to everyday Japanese social spaces and hesitant relationships complements Fukada’s patient framing of small behavioural shifts and community texture.
05
The Great Passage
Why this pick
For another precise, humane portrait of a modest workplace, this follows an introverted ensemble negotiating etiquette, labour, and connection with understated humour and patient observational pacing.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
In this black comedy the lives of a timid small-time printer and his young wife are turned inside out by the arrival of a stranger who moves in and takes over their world. Set in a village-like outpost in the heart of Tokyo, this is a wry commentary on Japanese xenophobia. Kiki Sugino heads a spritely ensemble cast.
