If you loved A Madder Red, try The Great Passage
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Yuya Ishii, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Madder Red, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
