If you loved Dodes'ka-den, try Madadayo - Il compleanno
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Akira Kurosawa, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Dodes'ka-den, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Madadayo - Il compleanno is
Kurosawa's last film is a slight but heartfelt valediction. It follows a professor in postwar Tokyo as he retires and enjoys the company of his doting former students. The yearly birthday toast ritual becomes a charming reminder of enduring bonds.
