If you loved Minbo, or The Gentle Art of Japanese Extortion, try Supermarket Woman
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 Jūzō Itami, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Minbo, or The Gentle Art of Japanese Extortion, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Supermarket Woman is
Itami directs this one like a lark, a mid-career sidestep. An aggressively cheerful woman helps a listless grocer save his failing supermarket. It's a light satire that seems happy simply to exist.
