If you loved Asako in Ruby Shoes, try The Bacchus Lady
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by E J-yong, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Asako in Ruby Shoes, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Bacchus Lady is
Mother meets Mamma Roma. An aging prostitute cares for a young Korean-Filipino child. Carries social realism of 2010s Seoul.
