If you loved The Chef of South Polar, try University of Laughs
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 The Chef of South Polar, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What University of Laughs is
The censors in pre-war Japan thought comedy could be standardized. A playwright resisted, then compromised, then outmaneuvered. The system got a script it didn’t know how to censor.
