If you loved Tora-san, Our Lovable Tramp, try My Sons

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 Yoji Yamada, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Tora-san, Our Lovable Tramp, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What My Sons is

Tokyo’s romance factory hums by as a greenhorn clerk pines for a factory girl who speaks in silence. His jealousy of his brainy brother takes a backseat when both affection and paternal blessing arrive in the same package. The father’s approval feels like a consolation prize no one saw coming.
