If you loved The Life of Matsu the Untamed, try The Rickshaw Man

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 Hiroshi Inagaki, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to The Life of Matsu the Untamed, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
