If you loved Crónica de una trotamundos, try A la deriva
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Mikio Naruse, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Crónica de una trotamundos, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What A la deriva is
All About Eve without champagne. A widowed geisha proprietor struggles to keep her business afloat in postwar Tokyo. Naruse's camera observes the quotidian realities of women in a changing world.
