If you loved Hoteru hime, try Nishi Ginza Station
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
Theysit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hoteru hime, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Nishi Ginza Station is
Here's a film that probably seemed like a lark at the time. A Tokyo pharmacist has an affair, inspired by a hit song. It's a slight comedy, so no one gets too upset about it.
