If you loved Heroic Purgatory, try La mujer del lago
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 Yoshishige Yoshida, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Heroic Purgatory, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
slow burn
What La mujer del lago is
Last Year at Marienbad if directed by Fassbinder. A woman's affair takes a nasty turn when compromising photographs surface. Yoshida's formalism elevates the lurid premise.
