If you loved Bon courage, larbin !, try La Mère
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Mikio Naruse, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bon courage, larbin !, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What La Mère is
Tehran meets The Bicycle Thieves. A poor widow in 1950s Tokyo turns seamstress nightshift while her teenage daughter skips school to keep their family afloat. Naruse crafts the rhythm of quiet desperation, steered by Kinuyo Tanaka’s face alone.
