If you loved Tokyo Marigold, try BU・SU
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 Jun Ichikawa, and they both carry the slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Tokyo Marigold, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What BU・SU is
Fassbinder without melodrama. A young woman leaves her constricted rural existence for a Tokyo geisha house. Ichikawa's unsentimental eye finds a quiet story of tradition versus modernity, carried by the understated performance of her lead actress.
