- Synopsis:
- "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?

Nothing Good Happens After 2am - Night Is Short, Walk on Girl review by griggs
Fantastical, baffling and beguiling in equal measure, Masaaki Yuasa’s one-long-night-in-Kyoto romp is the sort of film where, by about the third absurdist set piece, you stop trying to make sense of it and just surrender to the ride. The animation is dazzling, and even when the story starts running on dream logic rather than momentum, it’s hard not to be won over.
That said, I’ve long lived by the rule that nothing good happens after 2am. Night is Short, Walk On Girl makes a decent case for it. The further into the small hours it drifts, the less engaging it becomes.

More illegible subtitles... - Night Is Short, Walk on Girl review by JC
I was looking forward to watching this film with its surrealist take on a number of frankly surreal real-life aspects of Japanese society, but the small white subtitles on top of the film's psychadelic colour scheme was a literal headache and we had to give up after 5 minutes!
