Hospitalité
“Welcome to our house.”
ComedyDrama
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.
VIBE
A quiet, unsettling invasion of personal space. This film feels like a slow-burn social experiment, observing the awkward ripple effects of an unwelcome guest. It’s a masterclass in understated tension and uncomfortable, yet darkly funny, observation.
