Detective Ballerino

About This Movie

So, 'Detective Ballerino,' huh? This quirky blend of comedy and crime has a unique premise. You’ve got Kurumi Usushima, played by Yuto Nakajima, who once aspired to be a ballerino but finds himself in the detective game. It's a bit of a strange setup, but it works. The film dives into hypnosis and past life regression, which adds a surreal layer to the standard detective narrative. The pacing can feel a bit jumpy at times, but it allows for some fun character moments, especially between Kurumi and his senior detective, Takao Washio. The atmosphere is light-hearted yet infused with a hint of mystery. Unique performances drive it, making it a curious watch for genre enthusiasts.

Interesting take on crime with a comedic twist.Explores themes of identity and past lives.The hypnosis angle is pretty distinctive.
