Kowloon Generic Romance

2025 · 120 min Romance Science Fiction Drama
8.5 / 10 · TMDB

Kaito works in a pharmacy in Kokura's neon district. Every day he sells generics — cheap copies of expensive drugs that replicate the formula but lack the brand. His life is a generic too: predictable, bland, much like his relationship with coworker Rika. Everything changes when he meets Mia, a girl who claims to be from a future where their love was legendary but erased from history. Now she offers Kaito a 'generic' of their feelings — an exact yet soulless copy of what should have been. Together, they journey through the night city, trying to piece together fragments of lost memories and understand if genuine emotion can be recreated from blueprints of the past. This 2025 romantic sci-fi drama questions the nature of authenticity in a world of copies.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director juxtaposes the cold aesthetics of neon signage with warm, almost tactile 16mm film cinematography, creating a visual dissonance between the artificial and the human.

Those who appreciate quiet, contemplative stories about memory and connection will find a melancholic resonance here. What lingers is a subtle ache for something real in an age of replication. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Chihiro Ikeda

Best Watched

In the back of a taxi late at night, watching the city blur into an abstract river of light.
