If you loved Der Rikschamann, try The Life of Matsu the Untamed
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. The Life of Matsu the Untamed hat ungefähr 3.0× Stimmen weniger als Der Rikschamann — ein tieferer Cut, keine Mainstream-Empfehlung. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Hiroshi Inagaki, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Der Rikschamann, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Life of Matsu the Untamed is
You haul a rickshaw and spread cheer around town. You befriend a sick young boy and join his family's service. But fate has other plans for you. Inagaki's early work shows the formal grace he'd later bring to samurai films. The film leaves one pondering class and duty.
