I've seen the movie once now and feel like I at least owe you my random thoughts about it haha:

For whatever reason the movie is shot in black and white, which seems to be a pattern for the director, but I haven't seen any of his other works yet. It's almost 2 hours long and only features about a handful of characters, most of them are conveniently hot women which was cool but also felt a bit like I was watching porn intros, for example in one scene he went to the hot doctor, in the next to the hot dentist and so on, maybe it was intentional that in the eyes of the slacker film-maker everybody else seemed so attractive, but probably I'm just overthinking things.

The simple plot follows the seemingly relaxing daily life of the kind of dickish film-maker and his amusing encounters with various sorts of people by using the concept of repeating very similar days. The style reminded me a bit of Groundhog Day, and I like how they used the the same camera-angles for the specific parts of the day to create familiarity, so for every morning and evening that he spends in his room two different angels are repeatedly used.
There was a weird artsy part somewhere in the middle which I found interesting but also a bit pretentious by asking questions like What is wrong with japanese movies or something, though I still think about a few questions.
I think its funny that I thought the main character was a dick but also relatable to me, like he doesn't do much actual film-making, so he could also be a neet and the story wouldn't make much less sense.
So all in all the movie was a slow and comfy experience, maybe a little too long for the story it tells, and I am sure I missed some things, but the cute tomboyish librarian alone made the movie worth it for me.
