“How to Find Happiness”. A great question, that this film attempts to provide an answer for in a rather unique production about an unlikely relationship forming between a doctor and a patient.
How To Find Happiness is screening at International Film Festival Rotterdam
Shunichi Nagasaki’s film features Toshihide (Mahiro Takasugi), a young doctor living at his clinic. When Ako (Nagisa Sekimizu) drops into his clinic, and looks exactly like the woman he has a crush on, he’s clueless. Ako then is forced to stay around due to medical reasons, and starts temporarily living with Toshihide and his family. He soon realizes that Ako is not the woman he hoped she was, but that does not stop them from bonding anyways, and gives both of the characters the development they so necessarily needed.
The film does a lot of things well, but excels in showing two less-than-whole characters in pretty unique ways.
