If you loved The Yellow Handkerchief, try Tora-san, Our Lovable Tramp
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Yoji Yamada, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Yellow Handkerchief, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
