If you loved Tokyo Chorus, try Passing Fancy
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 Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Tokyo Chorus, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Passing Fancy is
A misplaced waif wanders into Depression-era Tokyo, fresh off the train and into the custody of a bar owner pressured by a soft-hearted single dad. Three lives shuffle into closer quarters, but no one seems to notice the heavier air settling overhead. A charm that can’t decide between kidding and clawing its way out.
