Picnic

PiCNiC (1996) is a Japanese drama by director Shunji Iwai you can watch online on iFILM. Three patients in a psychiatric hospital — Coco, Tsumuji, and Satoru — have decided this is the last day on earth. They slip out onto the walls of the city, walking toward the perfect spot to sit and watch it end.

At 72 minutes, the film barely announces itself. No exposition, no resolution — just three people drifting through somewhere impossible, shot with the restless intimacy Iwai carried into his later work. Chara and Tadanobu Asano make it feel genuinely strange. Stream PiCNiC (1996) online on iFILM.
