If you loved Zegen, try Doctor Akagi
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 Shōhei Imamura, and they both carry the pitch black mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zegen, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Doctor Akagi is
Somehow a doctor’s hepatitis hunt becomes a surreal farce against wartime absurdity. During WWII’s final days a Japanese medic tests remedies on prisoners while chaos swirls. One final note: the film treats disease like a prankster.
