If you loved El muchacho, try El ahorcamiento

Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Nagisa Ōshima, and they both carry the foreign gem, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El muchacho, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El ahorcamiento is
Apparently someone forgot to kill the guy. A Korean man is sentenced to death in Japan. Authorities are now stuck with a living problem.
