If you loved Las mil y una noches, try La doncella de la tristeza
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Eiichi Yamamoto, and they sit in Animation / Drama / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Las mil y una noches, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What La doncella de la tristeza is
The Trials of Alice meets Faust in a fever-dream anime. A raped bride seals a deal with a pixie-like devil and gains powers to burn feudal Japan. Her descent into witchery glows like neon on rice paper.
