If you loved Where Now Are the Dreams of Youth?, try Tokyo Chorus

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 Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the bittersweet, cozy, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Where Now Are the Dreams of Youth?, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Tokyo Chorus is

Ozu takes on the hardships of 1930s Japan, so you know it will be a laugh riot. A newly unemployed white-collar worker must find a way to support his wife and children. It's a simple story, told with the director's usual restraint.
