In a near-future Tokyo, two rambunctious high school pals reckon with the fallout of a prank played on their principal and the daily looming threat of a catastrophic earthquake. The fiction feature debut by Sora (Ryuichi Sakamoto: Opus) is at once a poignant, delicately modulated coming-of-age drama of foundering friendship and a cutting cautionary tale concerning the incursion of surveillance technology into all aspects of everyday life, intelligently employing its schoolyard setting as a microcosm of Japanese society and its rankling socio-political and environmental anxieties. (Japan, USA, Singapore, UK, 2024, 113 mins, Japanese | Dir. Neo Sora)
