If you loved La Mort d'un maître de thé, try Sandakan N° 8
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 Kei Kumai, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to La Mort d'un maître de thé, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
slow burn
What Sandakan N° 8 is
Netflix meets post-war war crime dockumentary meets a toothless great-aunt dropping bad news. A cub reporter digs up a geriatric ex-comfort woman who calmly names the Japanese brothel where she was trafficked. The old woman’s matter-of-fact voice carries the whole film and the era’s quiet dread.
