If you loved Shall We Dance?, try Madadayo
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 Shall We Dance?, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Madadayo is
Kurosawa's last film is a slight but heartfelt valediction. It follows a professor in postwar Tokyo as he retires and enjoys the company of his doting former students. The yearly birthday toast ritual becomes a charming reminder of enduring bonds.
