If you loved Delito de fuga, try Cuando una mujer sube la escalera
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 Mikio Naruse, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Delito de fuga, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What Cuando una mujer sube la escalera is
Hostess life meets existential ledger. A Ginza widow fronts for tipsy men while rent eats her edges. The ledger’s red when she checks her age in the back-glow.
