A Stranger of Mine (Japan, 2005)

In one long Friday evening, Takeshi, a straight-arrow businessman, will encounter a number of people (some only fleetingly) who have intertwining fates. The plot of the film is presented in succession first from the point of view of Maki, a young woman disappointed in love, then from Takeshi's point of view, then of his friend, Yusuke, a private detective, and it keeps on switching the viewers perspective like this.

With lots of comic relief and several storylines, A Stranger of Mine is a fun and engaging movie that reward its viewers more and more, and the plot is like a puzzle that is slowly being pieced together. It features some interesting characters and will give you a couple of good laughs, definitely worth a watch. 

Genre: Drama/Comedy
