If you loved It's a Flickering Life, try Una madre de Tokio
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 Yoji Yamada, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to It's a Flickering Life, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Una madre de Tokio is
A gentle film about a middle-aged son trying to reconnect with his aging mother. Akio travels to Tokyo and finds her vibrantly happy, hanging out with a suspiciously nice new friend. It's a movie about the way people change, or don't.
