If you loved Il mio amore brucia, try Tokyo March
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 Kenji Mizoguchi, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Il mio amore brucia, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Tokyo March is
Tokyo March sets an unrequited romance against the glittering billboards and geisha districts of 1920s Tokyo, where a taxi dancer’s wages can’t buy love even when the city’s first neon lights call her name. The film pivots on a single train platform goodbye that still lingers in the three reels left to us. Given what survives, it’s remarkable how much heartache a city can carry.
