DESCRIPTION:(Sho Miyake\, 2025\, Japan\, 90 minutes)\n\n \n\nEncore screeni
 ng!\n\n \n\nOne of the most-admired bookings at the Webster Film Series in
  recent months is our May 2026 sleeper hit Two Seasons\, Two Strangers\, n
 ow returning to our screen for one last show. Winner of the 2025 Locarno G
 olden Leopard\, Japanese writer-director Sho Miyake’s Two Seasons\, Two 
 Strangers is a soulful adaptation based on “A View of the Seaside” and
  “Mr. Ben and His Igloo” by the manga master Yoshiharu Tsuge. Miyake
 ’s delicate mise en abyme conjures a gentle yet haunting ripple of exist
 ential ruminations. The film is willed into existence from the moment of i
 nception\, as Korean screenwriter Li (Eun-kyung Shim\, Train to Busan) put
 s pencil to the pages of a humble notebook—an act of transmutation that 
 plunges the audience into the weary summer breeze of the first season\, wh
 ere a young woman named Nagisa (Yuumi Kawai\, a rising star in Japanese ci
 nema\, recently seen on the Film Series’ big screen in Desert of Namibia
  and Renoir) crosses paths with a lonesome young man named Natsuo (Mansaku
  Takada) in a seaside village. The rhythm of crashing waves gradually tran
 sforms into the snow-muted stillness of Li’s own winter exile\, the seco
 nd season of the film\, where she meets an eccentric innkeeper named Benzo
  (Shinichi Tsutsumi\, who last year appeared in the Japanese miniseries Af
 ter the Quake\, based on Haruki Murakami’s writings).\n\n \n\nIn Japanes
 e with English subtitles.
