If you loved Hoteru hime, try Nishi Ginza Station
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
Theysit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hoteru hime, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Nishi Ginza Station is
Here's a film that probably seemed like a lark at the time. A Tokyo pharmacist has an affair, inspired by a hit song. It's a slight comedy, so no one gets too upset about it.
