If you loved Gishiki (La ceremonia), try El chico que vendía palomas
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 Nagisa Ōshima, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gishiki (La ceremonia), the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
