Night Is Short, Walk On Girl at The Cube
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Quirky, surreal 2010s rom-con anime following a very eventful evening … As one Letterboxd review reads: “Perhaps the only film ever to include a pub crawl, a 10 minute musical number, a natural disaster sequence, an army of cowboys fighting a crowd of politicians, a slav squad, and still somehow be pretty coherent and unironically amazing.” We’re sold."

A event held at The Cube on Tuesday 19th August. The event starts at 20:00.


Dir: Masaaki Yuasa, 2017, Japan, 100 mins, Cert 15

"Senpai” is a man smitten with his inscrutable junior, The Girl with Black Hair. Although he plans to woo her by engineering a series of “coincidental” encounters, he reckons without the exploratory nature of this girl as she roams through an abstract, bustling night in Kyoto. From pub crawls to festivals, book fairs to impromptu musical performances, the night is short and there’s much to take in - how can “Senpai” possibly grab the attention of the apple of his eye?
