“WE MAKE ANTIQUES 2. Last (so far) in the series. Mostly same cast as in the original (USO HAPPYAKU (2018)). Pretty much the same plot as before, but this time the location is centered on Kyoto. Interestingly, it seems to show Kyoto as having a seaport!! Continuity is hopeless. Lacks just about everything that made the original appealing. Viewed at JICC J-Film event. WILLIAM FLANIGAN”
