What if you could know the future?

GenevaA film doesn't need to have a big budget to be original and groundbreaking. Beyond the two infinite minutes, by Japanese director Jun Yamaguchi, is a clear example. With only two screens, one showing what will happen in exactly two minutes, and the other showing the corresponding past, a comic vaudeville-style plot is created. After the initial childish play, the characters quickly discover the obvious applications this can offer, leading us to a completely absurd ending, yet one that is typical of the genre.

Accustomed as we are to blockbusters filled with special effects, this film reinvents the time travel subgenre with the originality of a script that makes us forget any technical shortcomings, avoiding the repetition of tropes and clichés, offering a different angle and a fresh style. The film features only two spaces connected by a sequence shot that makes the viewer part of a small but very unique and original cast of characters. Furthermore, it maintains causal coherence throughout, a characteristic that other films addressing the same subject matter often fail to achieve.

A little-known film, but fresh and entertaining throughout its seventy-minute runtime. You can find it on Filmin dubbed into Catalan, although it's recommended to watch it in its original Japanese version, as it conveys an extra intensity that only Japanese can provide.
