If you loved The Morning Sun Shines, try Tokyo March
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 Kenji Mizoguchi, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Morning Sun Shines, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Tokyo March 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.
