If you loved Mother, try Hourou-ki
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 Mikio Naruse, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mother, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Hourou-ki 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.
