If you loved La dernière danse, try La femme porte-bonheur
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 Jūzō Itami, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La dernière danse, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La femme porte-bonheur is
Itami directs, in what feels like, a minor key. A kindly geisha finds herself bringing good fortune to the parade of dubious men sharing her bed. It is a gentle reminder that not every story needs world-shaking stakes.
