If you loved Rot, try Bao
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Bao hat ungefähr 4.4× Stimmen weniger als Rot — ein tieferer Cut, keine Mainstream-Empfehlung. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Domee Shi, and they both carry the bittersweet, cozy, tender mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Comedy / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Rot, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Bao is
Here's a film that knows its audience. A Chinese-Canadian woman makes a dumpling that comes alive. The ensuing years test their bond as the dumpling grows up. It's a slight story, but somehow works as a tearjerker.
