If you loved Asako con zapatos color rubí, try The Bacchus Lady
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by E J-yong, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Asako con zapatos color rubí, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Bacchus Lady is
Mother meets Mamma Roma. An aging prostitute cares for a young Korean-Filipino child. Carries social realism of 2010s Seoul.
