If you loved Flunky, Work Hard!, try The Approach of Autumn
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Mikio Naruse, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Flunky, Work Hard!, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Approach of Autumn is
Neorealism meets family drama. A single mother leaves her son with relatives in Tokyo. Carries a nuanced portrayal of 1960s Japan.
