If you loved La Mère, try Chronique de mon vagabondage
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 La Mère, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Chronique de mon vagabondage is
Womanhood without security. A writer in old Japan bounces between exploitative lovers and soul-killing jobs. Hideko Takamine, always superb, elevates this familiar story of artistic struggle.
