If you loved Sincere Heart, try La posada del mal
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 Masaki Kobayashi, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sincere Heart, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
bittersweet
What La posada del mal is
You arrive at a remote inn run by smugglers during Japan's closed-border era. You carry stolen money to ransom your lover. But betrayal runs deep within the criminal enterprise. Kobayashi's widescreen compositions, full of shadow, elevate the genre elements. The film lingers on duty and desire.
