If you loved What a Wonderful Family!, try Tora-san's Cherished Mother
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Tora-san's Cherished Mother ha circa 3.9× voti in meno di What a Wonderful Family! — è una scelta di nicchia, non una raccomandazione mainstream. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Yoji Yamada, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to What a Wonderful Family!, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Tora-san's Cherished Mother is
This one attempts to tug at the heartstrings a bit more than usual. Tora-san believes he has found his long-lost mother working as a geisha in Kyoto and tries to reconnect. It's a very sweet film, if perhaps a little corny.
