If you loved Vengeance Is Mine, try Die tiefe Sehnsucht der Götter
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.

What Die tiefe Sehnsucht der Götter is
A Tokyo engineer shipped to a remote island to sink a test well stumbles into the Futori clan’s closed rituals. The island’s living history clashes with his drills and dreams. A 1968 time-capsule of friction between tradition and progress.
