If you loved The Catch, try Die Zeremonie
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 Nagisa Ōshima, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Catch, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Die Zeremonie is
Post-war Japan’s fractured nobility in one family’s funeral cycle. The last Sakurada son watches honor codes curdle into state violence while funeral rites decay into hollow theater. A youthful corpse holds every era’s secrets.
