If you loved Les Bas-fonds, try Un merveilleux dimanche
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 Akira Kurosawa, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Les Bas-fonds, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Un merveilleux dimanche is
A Tokyo Sunday stretched thin by wartime scraps somehow feels like the coziest getaway. Two hungry lovers wander the city’s bones counting coins between stolen glances and sidewalk snacks. Kurosawa finds romance not in grand gestures but in shared bento lids and half-priced tickets.
