If you loved Port of Flowers, try La balada de Narayama
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 Keisuke Kinoshita, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Port of Flowers, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What La balada de Narayama is
Tokugawa era social commentary meets folk tale. A remote village practices a harsh tradition. Orin's calm acceptance carries the film.
