If you loved Muybridge's Strings, try Jigoku - Das Tor zur Hölle
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
Theyboth carry the surreal mood tag. If that's the register that drew you to Muybridge's Strings, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Jigoku - Das Tor zur Hölle is
Towering clouds of sulphur overwhelm a flaming gate. Ghosts in bloodied kimono shuffle past a gong that never stops tolling. Seven living souls arrive too late, each bearing a corpse’s weight of guilt. One by one their sins unspool—murderers, cuckolds, betrayed lovers—all led by the tolling gong toward a lake of boiling heads. Nakagawa’s spectral parade leaves the land of the quick looking like a gentle dream.
