Love is at the mercy of chance encounters, surprising connections and random acts in Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy, Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s playful trilogy of tales on the theme of “coincidence and imagination”.
The three episodes - an unexpected love triangle, a failed seduction trap and an encounter that results from a misunderstanding - each revolving around a woman, are in turn divided into three movements, like a piece of music.
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2021 Berlin Festival, the elegant, well-written film with its fine performances is a melancholy delight
