Kyotaro Nishimura's Travel Mystery - Soya Honsen Murder Incident is one of those films that really immerses you in the atmosphere of a train journey. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, which adds to the sense of unease. The narrative unfolds with a quiet tension, particularly as Detective Kamei grapples with the unexpected death of a fellow traveler. The use of a floppy disk as a plot device feels intriguingly dated yet fitting for a mystery set in this era. There’s a certain charm in the practical effects and the performances; they carry a weight that adds depth to the seemingly simple plot. It’s a distinctive piece, capturing the isolation of travel and the sudden intertwining of lives.
