If you loved Carnets secrets des ninjas, try L'Empire des sens
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 Nagisa Ōshima, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Carnets secrets des ninjas, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What L'Empire des sens is
A 1976 Japanese film that pushed boundaries while losing sight of them. It chronicles an affair that escalates into all-consuming obsession. Oddly, restraint proved more provocative than nudity.
