If you loved Confessions Among Actresses, try Impasse
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 Yoshishige Yoshida, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Confessions Among Actresses, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Impasse is
Persona without Bergman. A couple's happiness cracks when the wife fixates on the anonymous sperm donor who fathered their child. Yoshida's early art-house film reflects the anxieties of Japan's booming 1960s.
