River (2023)
Movie
Released
The staff and guests of a Kyoto inn share a two-minute reset, so keeping everybody informed becomes a practical challenge. Junta Yamaguchi gives the same tiny interval different emotional stakes for different people. Try this after the solitary loops: cooperation, service routines and the wish to pause a changing life make repetition feel unusually sociable.

About River
The one-hundred-year-old Fujiya inn stands in the quiet region of Kyoto. Mikoto is standing in front of the Kibune river at the back of the building when she is called back to work. But two minutes later, she finds herself back at the river again. The whole inn seems to be stuck in a time loop!
