If you loved Tokyo March, try Chikamatsu Monogatari
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 / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Tokyo March, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Chikamatsu Monogatari is
A lonely scrollmaker’s wife and his apprentice find romance while on the run from a scandal that starts with an accusation and ends in flight. Their newfound love blossoms as quickly as the gossip spreads. The film settles for a tidy moral without straining.
