Acclaimed on its festival run, director Junta Yamaguchi's Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes is
the latest film to adopt a one-take filming technique. The movie follows a
middle-aged cafe owner who begins to receive messages from a version of
himself two minutes in the future.
Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes is on US VOD from January
25th. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Kato is a middle-aged shop owner in Kyoto, Japan who lives above his cafe. He spends his free time playing in a local band and sometimes thinking about Megumi, the woman in the barbershop next door with whom Kato is infatuated. One evening, after closing up the cafe, Kato is in his room when suddenly he appears on his own computer screen. The Kato on the screen is using the computer from downstairs in the cafe and claims to be from two minutes in the future. Kato is understandably confused and skeptical, but things get really strange when he goes down to the cafe computer, sees himself sitting back in his room, and begins to deliver the same message he heard two minutes before. It’s not long before Kato’s friends discover the phenomenon – which they dub “Time TV” – and devise a plan to go beyond the infinite two minutes.
