If you loved La Poupée en bambou d'Echizen, try Le Bal de la famille Anjo
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Kōzaburō Yoshimura, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La Poupée en bambou d'Echizen, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Le Bal de la famille Anjo is
After WWII, a ruined aristocratic family hosts a final ball in their crumbling estate before losing everything to debt collectors. The night’s waltzes become a funeral for a way of life. A quiet, elegant tragedy.
