If you loved Rafureshia, try Tales of a Golden Geisha
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 Rafureshia, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Tales of a Golden Geisha is
Itami directs, in what feels like, a minor key. A kindly geisha finds herself bringing good fortune to the parade of dubious men sharing her bed. It is a gentle reminder that not every story needs world-shaking stakes.
