Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes
Directed by Junta Yamaguchi
Written by Makato Ueda

Release Date June 5th, 2020
Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes is one of the most fun movies I have seen recently. This delightfully oddball science fiction comedy from Japan has a brilliantly odd premise, lovable characters and a wildly inventive spirit that permeates each of its delightfully short 70 minute runtime. Directed by Junta Yamaguchi, who also acted as his own cinematographer and editor, Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes isn’t merely entertaining, it’s a marvel of film technique, especially in the incredible editing.
Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes stars Kazunari Tosa as Kato, the owner of a small cafe in Japan. One night after closing, Kato returns to his apartment, upstairs from the café, and has a bizarre encounter. While searching for a lost guitar pick, Kato gets a message from himself from two minutes in the future. He explains to himself how to find the pick and then tells himself to run down to the café so that he can send this same message to himself two minutes later. Kato listens to himself and a loop begins where everything Kato does repeats two minutes later.
