How to Become Myself (2007)
あしたの私のつくり方
aka Česko vaří s Pohlreichem ŽIVĚ
Juri, an elementary school girl, loses sight of her true self while acting out a false self to play along with her friends. Kanako, a classmate who used to be the popular girl but has been bullied lately, tells Juri that the girl she is now is not her true self, and Juri sympathizes.
🏳️🌈 Jun Ichikawa's beautiful Japanese coming-of-age film follows a shy teenager who starts text-messaging a popular classmate under a false name, layering their deep emotional bond with quiet sáfic subtext.
