If you loved The Restaurant of Many Orders, try Dojoji Temple
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 Kihachiro Kawamoto, and they both carry the dread, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Fantasy / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Restaurant of Many Orders, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Dojoji Temple is
Bell of Dojoji. Nightfall. A mosquito. A traveling priest seeks shelter, finding only a woman's spare room. Their brief entanglement ends with the monk fleeing into the wilderness. The woman transforms, pursuing him relentlessly. Kawamoto's stop-motion puppet phantasmagoria is best viewed as nightmare fuel.
