About Night Is Short, Walk On Girl
As a group of university students go out for a night on the town, a sophomore known only as "The Girl with Black Hair" experiences a series of surreal encounters with the local nightlife – all the while unaware of the romantic longings of "Senpai", a senior student who has been creating increasingly fantastic and contrived reasons to run into her in an effort to win her heart.
Directed by Masaaki Yuasa, Night Is Short, Walk On Girl leans on a strong ensemble — Gen Hoshino, Kana Hanazawa, Ami Koshimizu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2017.
