If you loved Ushijima the Loan Shark The Final, try Supermarket Woman
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
Theysit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ushijima the Loan Shark The Final, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Supermarket Woman is
Itami directs this one like a lark, a mid-career sidestep. An aggressively cheerful woman helps a listless grocer save his failing supermarket. It's a light satire that seems happy simply to exist.
