If you loved His Motorbike, Her Island, try Hanagatami
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 Nobuhiko Obayashi, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to His Motorbike, Her Island, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
