One of my favorite movies to throw on after a busy or taxing day is the movie “Hearts Beat Loud” (IMDB, Trailer), a low-stakes film about a father and daughter who occasionally jam together and unexpectedly have a popular song in the summer before the daughter leaves for college.
Can anyone suggest some similarly low-stakes, slice-of-live style movies?
Kikukiro (1999) a road movie that captures the summer feeling.
You may have heard of the main theme somewhere else before, as I think it is more well known than the movie itself.
Joe Hisaishi’s Summer
Tampopo (1985) a movie about the people who run a Ramen shop, and other weird and wacky characters.
“Like the French comedies of Jacques Tati, it’s a bemused meditation on human nature in which one humorous situation flows into another offhandedly, as if life were a series of smiles.” Roger Ebert
