If you loved The Blue Sky Maiden, try Giants and Toys
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 Yasuzō Masumura, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Blue Sky Maiden, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Giants and Toys is
A Tokyo ad man gets pulled into a candy war where his rivals are more ruthless than his own sweet tooth. He spends his days devising campaigns while his opponents devise schemes. In the end he learns the product isn’t glucose—it’s humiliation.
