If you loved Lo bello y lo triste, try Bajo los cerezos en flor
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 Masahiro Shinoda, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lo bello y lo triste, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Bajo los cerezos en flor is
Kyoto mountains. Spring. An axe. A woodcutter takes wives, one after another. Each ends up dead. He meets a bewitching woman in the forest, and his murderous cycle escalates. Shinoda's artful ghost story is more uncanny than frightening.
