If you loved Das Insektenweib, try Schweine, Geishas und Matrosen
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 Shōhei Imamura, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Das Insektenweib, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
raw
What Schweine, Geishas und Matrosen is
You hustle scams near the U.S. naval base at Yokosuka with your girl. But rival gangs fight over the spoils. Imamura's early, frenetic style leaves one both exhausted and exhilarated.
