If you loved Falling Camellia, try Okiku and the World
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
Theysit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Falling Camellia, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Okiku and the World is
A period romance that finds fertile ground in the least sanitary corner of feudal Japan. Okiku, a disgraced samurai’s daughter, crosses paths with two itinerant waste collectors who hustle human excrement to farmers. The film blooms, somewhat miraculously, without smelling like one.
