If you loved Mona Lisa, try Pfahl in meinem Fleisch
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 Toshio Matsumoto. If that's the register that drew you to Mona Lisa, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Pfahl in meinem Fleisch is
Persona without the pretense. In Tokyo's kinetic late 1960s underworld, a bar owner and his queen bee find their affair threatened by a younger hustler. The ensuing love triangle unleashes suppressed trauma. A landmark of the Japanese New Wave.
