Japan • In Japanese with English subtitles
Kato runs a small café in Kyoto. Stepping into his apartment directly above the eatery one night, another Kato appears on his computer screen saying, “Hey, I am you. From two minutes in the future.” The already batshit premise of this one-take sci-fi comedy is rendered into a mind-bending experience in the hands of first-time director Junta Yamaguchi and his outstanding ensemble cast. In Japan, the dirt-cheap indie production has become a cult classic in no time, and the rest of the world will follow suit—of that we are sure, even if we can’t look into the future (not even two minutes). - SLASH FILM FESTIVAL
