If you loved How to Become Myself, try BU・SU
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 Jun Ichikawa, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to How to Become Myself, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What BU・SU is
Fassbinder without melodrama. A young woman leaves her constricted rural existence for a Tokyo geisha house. Ichikawa's unsentimental eye finds a quiet story of tradition versus modernity, carried by the understated performance of her lead actress.
