Megane (めがね, "Glasses") is a 2007 Japanese comedy film written and directed by Naoko Ogigami. Set on an unnamed Japanese island, the film tells the story of a vacationing university professor who comes in contact with several eccentric local inhabitants. It serves as a follow-up to Ogigami's 2006 film Kamome Shokudo, and features two of the same actors.[3][4] It was featured at several film festivals including the Sundance Film Festival.[5] During production, Ogigami decided the title of the movie after an impromptu realization that all of the characters in the film wore glasses.[6]
