回复 :《轻松+愉快》虚构了一个荒诞的北方，群氓的家伙们在互相拥抱中厮杀，在称兄道弟的关系中互相关爱与猜疑，在互相点燃的希望中灰飞烟灭！电影里汇聚了忙碌破案的警察，忙碌骗钱的骗子，忙碌抓偷树贼的护林员，忙碌找妈妈的基督徒，忙碌搞团结的假和尚。。。一群忙碌的人演绎后退的故事。这是一个关于罪的常态化，在追寻中坐以待毙的故事，一个悲伤的喜剧电影。电影里充满着北方的幽默，一波三折的冲突，虎视眈眈的壮美山河。
回复 :Kato is an aspiring screenwriter treading water. He spends his days pitching stories to offbeat agents and executives who are anything but impressed. Not that he has run out of ideas, they just don’t seem to go anywhere. Unlike his relationship with his girlfriend Zigzag – that one is going down the drain. Little does Kato – or anyone – know that life is about to take some seriously weird turns.While out to buy the special brand of food for his girlfriend’s dog Cerberus, Kato discovers an abandoned convenience store that transforms his trajectory. A stumble into a refrigerator catapults him into a realm of fantastical inspiration boosted by an eccentric couple he meets along the way. Might this be the key to getting his mojo back?Miki Satoshi (Adrift in Tokyo, What to Do with the Dead Kaiju?) returns with a surreal and quirky indie film that manages to be both charming and deeply philosophical. Teaming up with Japanese cinema expert and notable critic for The Japan Times Mark Schilling (Art, Cult and Commerce: Japanese Cinema Since 2000), Convenience Story takes you on an eccentric Dantean ride brimming with psychological tension and the zest of karma. From the purgatory of writer’s block, to a hell of an adventure, Kato’s journey is a satisfying and thoughtful tale.源自：https://iffr.com/en/iffr/2023/films/convenience-story
