If you loved Casting Blossoms to the Sky, try Hanagatami
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 Nobuhiko Obayashi, and they sit in Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Casting Blossoms to the Sky, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Hanagatami is
Apparently war dramas can be pretty. Toshihiko attends school in a coastal town. It politely meanders through adolescence and wartime.
