If you loved Flamme de mon amour, try La Marche de Tokyo
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Flamme de mon amour, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What La Marche de Tokyo is
Tokyo March sets an unrequited romance against the glittering billboards and geisha districts of 1920s Tokyo, where a taxi dancer’s wages can’t buy love even when the city’s first neon lights call her name. The film pivots on a single train platform goodbye that still lingers in the three reels left to us. Given what survives, it’s remarkable how much heartache a city can carry.
