If you loved Chronicle of My Mother, try Bounce Ko Gals
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 Masato Harada, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Chronicle of My Mother, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Bounce Ko Gals is
Mean Streets if set among Tokyo schoolgirls. One frenetic day binds together a crew of teenage prostitutes, a street dancer, and a restless returnee from the States. Masato Harada finds the energy of Shibuya's night scene.
