If you loved Hacia la luz, try Hanezu
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Hanezu tiene aproximadamente 5.4× votos menos que Hacia la luz — es una opción más underground, no una recomendación de masas. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Naomi Kawase, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hacia la luz, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Hanezu is
Naomi Kawase returns to Nara to contemplate love, loss, and landscape. Two men find themselves drawn to the same woman, who is herself obsessed with the ancient crimson dye known as hanezu. As you might expect, the scenery is lovely.
